Shara Bullet vs. Neiman Gracie booked for grappling contest

UFC middleweight Sharabutdin Magomedov will step away from MMA competition to test his grappling credentials against Neiman Gracie at Real American Freestyle (RAF) in Moscow on September 5. Magomedov, who last competed in June with a unanimous decision victory over Michel Pereira, previously explored pure grappling under the Hype FC banner, drawing with lightweights Arman Tsarukyan and Edson Barboza. Gracie, a former Bellator and PFL welterweight, has not competed since an August 2024 loss to Magomed Umalatov in the PFL. The Brazilian challenged for Bellator's welterweight title against Rory MacDonald in 2019 and compiled a 4-5 record afterward. His most recent grappling appearance came at ADXC 1 in 2023, where he submitted Benson Henderson. The Magomedov-Gracie matchup is part of a stacked RAF Moscow card headlined by Khamzat Chimaev vs. Tyron Woodley.
