UFC star Shara Bullet Magomedov joins Real American Freestyle roster

Sharabutdin "Shara Bullet" Magomedov has joined Real American Freestyle, adding another UFC talent to the growing freestyle wrestling promotion. The middleweight contender joins current UFC fighters Merab Dvalishvili, Belal Muhammad and Khamzat Chimaev on RAF's roster.

Magomedov's signing comes after RAF introduced crossover championship titles designed specifically for active MMA fighters, allowing them to compete for belts separate from the promotion's elite freestyle wrestlers. The 31-year-old's background in grappling competition outside the cage makes the transition a natural fit—he has previously faced Edson Barboza and Arman Tsarukyan on the mat.

The UFC middleweight holds a 17-1 professional MMA record and has earned a reputation as a fan favorite. After starting his career with 15 consecutive victories, Magomedov suffered his first loss via decision to Michael Page, before rebounding with consecutive wins over Michel Pereira and Marc-Andre Barriault. RAF has expanded aggressively in recent months, staging crossover events that feature established UFC names and former title challengers competing in the freestyle format.
