Fans more or less know who Sharaputdin Magomedov was before he even stepped foot inside the Octagon in 2023. He’s been successful in all his four fights so far, and now he’s back in action again in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for another Fight Night. But before he steps up to fight Michael ‘Venom’ Page this weekend, let’s get to know the undefeated ‘Bullet’ from a personal standpoint.
There are multiple videos of Sharaputdin Magomedov’s MMA career highlights on social media. That’s what fans like to talk about the most, but they don’t seem to know anything about his family. So, let’s first take a look at his significant other because the Russian star has a wife as well.
Sharaputdin Magomedov’s wife and kids
Sharaputdin Magomedov is a relative newcomer in the UFC, so there’s hardly any information available on his married life. While we know that he has a wife, we don’t know what his wife’s name is given that athletes from Dagestan tend to maintain a low profile when it comes to their personal life. Moreover, there is also no word on whether they have any children or not.
When it comes to Sharaputdin Magomedov’s parents, even their identities remain unknown. Hence, there isn’t much to but what we do know is that his family’s financial situation wasn’t all that good. Moreover, ‘Shara’ even opened up on how he was also struggling financially, which led to a little discourse with his wife about food.
Sharaputdin Magomedov’s viral comments about his wife’s demands
Sharaputdin Magomedov and his wife had a difficult time in their lives. He might be in a better place financially after signing with Dana White’s promotion, but in the past, he had struggled a bit as the 30-year-old undefeated up-and-comer opened up during an interview that his wife had an affinity towards drinking coffee and eating ice cream. During the early days of their marriage, their financial situation got so bad that Magomedov claimed to have stopped his wife from consuming her favorite food.
“I even feel a little bit ashamed telling you this. Sometimes my wife would get some coffee and ice cream. At some point, I had to restrict her from coffee. On other occasions, I had to restrict her from ice cream. Certainly, she was not ready for that,” Sharaputdin Magomedov told ‘Red Corner MMA’.
The undefeated star further added, “Maybe at the time, it seemed to her that I was just being stingy, but I was giving her the right perspective, explaining that if you keep buying coffee and ice cream, we’ll live for this many days. But if you don’t, we’ll live for more days. And she understood that back then.”
That sums up his married life. Now, let’s take a look at his younger years, especially his upbringing.
Sharaputdin Magomedov’s early life
Born in the city of Makhachkala, which is also the hometown of UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov, Sharaputdin Magomedov is a devout Muslim and has often been seen standing up for his religion whenever he needs to. As we’ve mentioned already, he maintains a low profile, which is why his parents’ identities have also remained a mystery to fans.
Given how good a fighter ‘Bullet’ has proven to be, it might come as a surprise to many people that some sources claim that the 30-year-old preferred playing soccer, which was also the first sport he ever played. However, certain personal issues led him to get kicked out of the team he played for, and would later switch to combat sports, especially boxing, and even became a national champion.
Combat sports have served him well, and now as an MMA fighter, Sharaputdin Magomedov could very well be in his prime as he remains undefeated. But can he edge past Michael ‘Venom’ Page this weekend? That remains to be seen.
