UFC standout Shara Magomedov impressed in his RAF debut. Last Saturday (5), in Moscow (RUS), the 'Pirate', friend of Valter Walker , faced Neiman Gracie in wrestling and dominated, winning 11-3 . As expected, the Russian celebrated the important victory at home and ended up taking a jab at the traditional martial arts family.

In an interview with 'Red Corner MMA', Shara joked that the legendary clan doesn't have a positive track record against Russian fighters, especially those from his own family. His excitement is understandable, as he accepted the fight close to the event date and, despite being a striking specialist, easily defeated a superior grappling opponent. After returning to his wrestling roots, the Russian has no doubt that, with a full training camp, he will fight even better.
“ I proved that the Magomedovs are stronger than the Gracies in wrestling . Honestly, it was a great fight. I think I could have done better, but I didn't have enough energy. I need to get used to wrestling. I wasn't prepared for this long,” said the fighter.
“I think if I have about a month and a half, I can wrestle well. I hope there will be more fights. I signed a contract for five fights. My freestyle wrestling career is just beginning,” he concluded.
