A middleweight matchup between Shara Magomedov and Michael Page will serve as the co-main event for UFC Saudi Arabia later today (Feb.1) at ANB Arena in Riyadh.

Magomedov (15-0) has amassed himself a sizeable fan following since making his UFC debut in 2023. While he hails from Dagestan, 'Shara Bullet' he couldn't be more different from the usual wrestling-heavy fighter the region has come to be known for.

No, Magomedov is a striker through and through, and a dynamic one at that. Few fans can forget the 30-year-old's double-spinning back fist KO over Armen Petrosyan at UFC 308.

In the other half of the event, Page (22-3) might just be the perfect opponent for 'Shara Bullet'. The Englishman is one of the finest strikes in MMA and holds wins over the likes of Douglas Lima and Kevin Holland among others.
