Zabit Magomedsharipov Hopes To Get A Rescheduled Bout With Yair Rodriguez
UFC Denver will be remembered for one of the best UFC fights of all time between Chan Sung Jung and Yair Rodriguez. The match was amazing, both fighters were throwing everything they had. It would be very difficult to score, but “El Pantera” made a spectacular move in the last second of the match. “The Korean Zombie” was chasing him. The Mexican ducked under to the left, went under his right hand and landed a reverse upward elbow. This fabulous strike landed straight to Korean’s chin and put him to sleep instantly. I have never seen this move before.
Zabit Magomedshapirov was slated to fight Yair Rodriguez at UFC 228 on September 8, 2018. “El Pantera” had to pull out due to an injury, so Dagestani fighter fought Brandon Davis. “ZaBeast” defeated “Killer B” via Suloev stretch, which is also a very rare submission.
Zabit Magomedsharipov (16-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) constantly tries to get a rematch versus Yair Rodriguez. After UFC Fight Night 139, “ZaBeast” went to his Twitter and wrote a message for “El Pantera”. The Russian fighter also mentioned UFC president Dana White and matchmaker Sean Shelby.

Yair Rodriguez (11-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) is known for unusual strikes. Just remember his world-class flying knee KO over Andre Fili at UFC 197 on April 23, 2016. At UFC Fight Night 103, on January 15, 2017, he defeated BJ Penn via legendary front kick followed by a barrage of punches. He has already earned Performance Of The Night award three times.
On the other side, Zabit Magomedsharipov earned legendary anaconda choke victory over Sheymon Moraes. The two faced at UFC Fight Night 122 on November 25, 2017. His submission game is always very interesting to watch. The former ACB Featherweight champion is a Master of sport in Combat Sambo, wrestling, and Sanda.
