Undefeated UFC star calls out Sharabutdin Magomedov after controversial UFC Saudi Arabia win: "Give me Bullet"

Earlier this evening at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Sharabutdin Magomedov outclassed UFC debutant Antonio Trocoli on the feet to earn a third-round TKO victory. The win has put the Dagestani in the crosshairs of a fellow undefeated middleweight contender.

At UFC Saudi Arabia, 'Shara Bullet's' speed turned out to be Trocoli's kryptonite, rendering the Brazilian unable to match his opponent on the feet. While 'Malvado' tried to resort to grappling, the Russian's improved takedown defense proved to be impregnable.

However, Trocoli almost succeded in securing a takedown in the second round. But an illegal fence grab by 'Shara Bullet', which failed to be spotted by the referee, prevented the takedown.

This foul play has shrouded the 30-year-old otherwise spectacular win in controversy.

Nevertheless, surging UFC star Bo Nickal seems to want a piece of 'Shara Bullet'. In a post on X following the fight, Nickal wrote:

"Give me Bullet."

Nickal (6-0) has won all three of his UFC fights via finishes. In his most recent fight, the former collegiate wrestling stand-out earned a second-round submission win over Cody Brundage at UFC 300.

However seeing as the 28-year-old is one of the most decorated wrestlers to have ever fought in the promotion, Magomedov who is predominantly a striker, might be a tailored match-up for him.
