Shara Magomedov hopes to make a strong return

After losing to Michael Page at UFC Saudi Arabia, Shara Magomedov issued a statement that he had a "nightmarish health condition" before the fight. Despite his condition, 'Bullet' believed he could overcome the odds and win the match, keeping his undefeated streak intact.

However, things did not go his way. Promising a strong return, Magomedov shared a heartfelt message on Instagram:

"The pirate sails into the harbor, but I will return! I knew all the risks when stepping in with such a nightmarish health condition and preparation. I felt that despite everything, I could still win—but it didn’t work out, and that’s it."

He added:

"Thank you to the @ufc organization for this opportunity and to everyone involved. I wanted to put on a show and meet expectations without canceling the fight. Thank you to everyone who stands by me in any situation! Alhamdulillah."
