Zabit Akhmedovich Magomedsharipov (Russian: Забит Ахмедович Магомедшарипов;[4] born March 1, 1991) is a Russian former professional mixed martial artist after retiring in 2022 due to issues with his health. He competed in the Featherweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and went undefeated in the organization with six fights. He also competed in Absolute Championship Berkut (ACB), where he was the ACB Featherweight Champion. Magomedsharipov was known for his unorthodox style that made him popular amongst fans.

Background

[edit]

Magomedsharipov was born in Khasavyurt, Dagestan ASSR, Soviet Union, on March 1, 1991, of Akhvakh ethnicity. Zabit has a younger brother, Khasan Magomedsharipov, who is also a professional mixed martial artist.[5] He started to train in freestyle wrestling at 11 years and then sanda. In 2003, he joined the Five Directions of the World wushu boarding school, where he lived for 10 to 12 years for education and trained martial arts three times per day,[6] under Gusein Magomaev, the school's co-founder. In 2012, he made his professional MMA debut.[7] In December 2019, his brother followed in his footsteps by making his professional MMA debut.[8] Magomedsharipov became well known during a period where fighters from Dagestan earned a reputation as formidable opponents in the UFC.
