Khassan Magomedsharipov has improved his record to 11-0 and signed a four-fight contract with PFL. He also spoke publicly about his role in convincing his brother Zabit Magomedsharipov to return to competition.
Khassan Magomedsharipov has completed a move to the Professional Fighters League, inking a four-fight deal with the promotion after pushing his professional record to a perfect 11-0.
The unbeaten prospect has also drawn attention for reasons beyond his own career, publicly discussing how he played a role in encouraging his older brother Zabit Magomedsharipov to return to fighting.
Zabit, now 35 years old and representing Russia, carries an 18-1 professional record and was long regarded as one of the most dynamic featherweights in the sport before stepping away from competition. Standing six-foot-one with a 73-inch reach, the orthodox fighter compiled an eye-catching statistical profile during his earlier run, landing 4.89 significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy while also generating 5.22 takedowns per 15 minutes. That combination of striking volume and wrestling pressure made him a genuine threat across multiple phases of a fight.
Khassan's arrival at PFL adds another layer to what is becoming a notable family story in MMA. With the younger Magomedsharipov now locked into a four-fight commitment and actively credited with drawing Zabit back toward the cage, both brothers could soon be competing on a major promotional stage simultaneously.
Why it matters
- Khassan enters PFL undefeated at 11-0, giving the promotion a prospect with genuine upside to build around
- His public comments about Zabit's return suggest that comeback is a live possibility rather than distant speculation
- Zabit's combination of high-volume striking and elite takedown output would make him a significant addition to any featherweight or lightweight roster
- The Magomedsharipov name carries strong recognition among hardcore MMA fans, giving PFL a potential marketing angle tied to both fighters
