Shara Bullet named the components he would combine to build a perfect MMA fighter, selecting Brock Lesnar for strength, Khabib Nurmagomedov for endurance, Hamzat Chimaev for wrestling, and Jon Jones for fight IQ. He chose himself for both leg strikes and chin durability, and picked Bruce Buffer for microphone skills.
Shara "Bullet" Magomedov revealed his blueprint for the ultimate MMA fighter in a recent social media exercise, handpicking elite attributes from across the sport's history to assemble his dream composite athlete.
Magomedov chose Brock Lesnar for raw strength, Khabib Nurmagomedov for cardio and endurance, Hamzat Chimaev for wrestling, and Jon Jones for fight IQ. When it came to leg strikes and chin durability, Bullet selected himself for both categories — a confident pair of self-assessments from the rising middleweight contender. He rounded out the package by naming legendary ring announcer Bruce Buffer for microphone skills.
The fighters he drew from represent some of the most decorated careers in UFC history. Khabib Nurmagomedov retired with a perfect 29-0-0 record, and his endurance selection makes sense given the Russian's relentless grappling output — he averaged 5.32 takedowns per 15 minutes across his career. Jon Jones, 38, carries a 28-1-0 record and is widely regarded as one of the most cerebral competitors the sport has produced. Standing six-foot-four with an 84-inch reach, Jones has posted a striking accuracy of 58 percent throughout his career. Brock Lesnar, now 48, went 5-3-0 in the octagon and brought an imposing physical frame at six-foot-three and an 81-inch reach, making the strength nod an intuitive one.
