Although he has stepped out of the world MMA arena, the voice of Khabib Nurmagomedov is still very weight. Recently, this boxer praised Zabit Magomedsharipov as a big character in Featherweight, even surpassing the current UFC champion Alex Volkanovski.
On his personal Instagram page, Khabib posted the status line as follows: “Standing next to me this is the strongest Featherweight boxer in the world, Zabit Magomedsharipov”.
Zabit is currently ranked 3rd in the Featherweight rankings in UFC. He currently has a record of 18 wins and 1 loss.
From the day of entering UFC, this Russian boxer has never been lost and continues to extend the unbeaten series with 14 consecutive victories. The British rivals are all veteran names in UFC typically Calvin Kattar and Jeremy Stephens.
With the above achievement table, Zabit can be completely confident in the future to win the right to fight the Featherweight of UFC.
However, Zabit has been “disappearing” these days. This boxer has not appeared in any match since November 2019. This is not his fault – at first UFC arranged Zabit Thuong Dai with Yair Rodriguez, unfortunately the Brazilian opponent repeatedly dodged this glove.
The good news is that Zabit Magomedsharipov is likely to return to the arena in the next few months. Moreover, with the support from his compatriot Khabib in practicing, this return of Zabit will surely be very spectacular.
