Zabit Magomedsharipov is set to step onto the grappling mats when ACB JJ 21 comes to Moscow on July 5, marking his latest competitive appearance under submission grappling rules.
Magomedsharipov, 35, carries an 18-1-0 professional MMA record and trains out of Ricardo Almeida Jiu-Jitsu, making a grappling-only format a natural fit for his skill set. The Russian featherweight has long been regarded as one of the more technically complete fighters in his division, and his MMA numbers reflect a well-rounded game — he averages 5.22 takedowns per 15 minutes and lands close to five significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy. Standing six-foot-one with a 73-inch reach, he brings solid physical tools to any competitive setting.
No opponent has been announced for his appearance at ACB JJ 21, and further details about the format of his match remain undisclosed at this stage.
Why it matters
- Magomedsharipov's participation in a high-profile grappling event keeps him active on the competitive scene and visible to fans.
- ACB JJ has established itself as a serious grappling promotion, and his entry adds a recognizable MMA name to the July 5 card in Moscow.
- His Ricardo Almeida Jiu-Jitsu affiliation signals genuine investment in the ground game, rather than a novelty appearance.
