Zabit Magomedsharipov is set to step onto the grappling mats at ACB JJ on July 5 in Moscow, competing in the 70-kilogram division. No opponent has been announced for the bout, and the promotion has reached out to fans to suggest who they would like to see across from him.
Magomedsharipov, 35, holds an 18-1-0 record in mixed martial arts and trains out of Ricardo Almeida Jiu-Jitsu, making a grappling-focused event a natural fit for the Russian fighter. Standing six feet one inch tall with a 73-inch reach, he has long been regarded as one of the more dynamic and technically gifted fighters to emerge from Russia. His MMA numbers reflect a well-rounded game: he averages 4.89 significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy, while also posting an impressive 5.22 takedowns per 15 minutes, underscoring the wrestling and grappling foundation that underpins his style.
