So, who does the versatile fighter want to face next?
Magomedsharipov’s manager Rizvan Magomed spoke to FightWorldTurkey and revealed that the Russian fighter wants a crack at the Featherweight title.
However, his client is even prepared to battle it out against Yair Rodriguez (13-2-1) if a title fight is not a part of UFC’s plans for Magomedsharipov.
Magomed also claimed that Zabit and his team are keeping a close eye on the Brian Ortega vs. The Korean Zombie fight.
He also added that Zabit’s next fight will be a five-round main event as his client wants to show the world that he has the tools and the gas tank for a possible 25-minute war.
Max Holloway will defend the Featherweight Championship against Alexander Volkanovski in the co-main event of UFC 245 on December 15th.
Zabit Magomedsharipov (18-1) is currently #4 in the Featherweight rankings and could be in line to face the winner of Holloway vs. Volkanovski.
However, we like the sound of a fight between Yair and Zabit as it would be a tough test for the Dagestani sensation.
Rodriguez is coming off a unanimous decision win against Jeremy Stephens and could be ready for another fight in a few months.
The UFC has a lot of good fights to book in the Featherweight division!
