Like many Dagestani fighters, ‘ZaBeast’ holds a strong record of 18-1-0. Six of those wins came by T(KO) and seven by submission, showing his well-rounded skill set. He has beaten tough opponents like Calvin Kattar, Jeremy Stephens, and others during his UFC run. One fight fans have always dreamed of is Zabit vs. Brian Ortega — a stylistic matchup that promised fireworks but never came to life
Zabit Magomedsharipov Was Spotted Training With Islam Makhachev
Recently, Zabit was training with former lightweight champion Islam Makhachev on the mats and inside the ring. His sight back in action sparked fresh rumors about a possible return. While nothing is official, training with a top-level fighter like Makhachev adds fuel to the fire. Now, with manager Ali Abdelaziz hinting at his comeback, it looks like Zabit might be serious about stepping back into the fight game soon.
Zabit left the UFC for a few simple reasons. He had health problems that made it hard to train and fight. He also felt the UFC didn’t keep its promise to give him a title shot. He waited a long time without getting a clear fight. This made him feel upset and unfairly treated. Because of this, ‘ZaBeast’ stopped fighting and left the sport.
