Sharabutdin Magomedov vs. Michal Oleksiejczuk UFC on ABC 7 Odds, Time, and Prediction

Sharabutdin “Shara Bullet” Magomedov is one of the most interesting UFC prospects today. Also known as the Dagestani Pirate for the fact that he lost his eye due to fighting, Magomedov is 13-0 overall with 11 wins by knockout/technical knockout. He’s favored to add another victory to his resume, but it won’t be easy as he’s taking on Michal Oleksiejczuk, who’s by far his toughest opponent to date.

Can Shara Stay Undefeated?

Sharabutdin Magomedov seems to be everyone’s fascination at the moment, but it’s not just because of his mixed martial arts skills. This guy looks scary with a big bushy beard and a glass eye, not to mention that there’s footage of him causing violence in his native Dagestan. Probably the most infamous video is the one of him attacking a couple for kissing in public.

He’s violent on the streets as well as in the Octagon. His strongest weapon is striking, the evidence being that he’s got an 84.61% knockout-to-win ratio. However, he’s only fought twice in the UFC.

On his debut, he defeated Bruno Silva by decision in a fight in which he landed almost twice as many significant strikes as his opponent. However, he got taken down three times by Silva, who showed everyone that Shara isn’t much of a wrestler despite being from Dagestan.

This, however, shouldn’t worry him much as his opponent at UFC on ABC 7 isn’t famous for his takedowns. Instead, same as Shara, Michal Oleksiejczuk too is all about striking.

Michal Oleksiejczuk to Give Share War

Michal “Hussar” Oleksiejczuk is 19-8-1 overall with six of his losses happening by submission. There’s no fear that another submission loss will happen on August 3 as Shara Magomedov just has no intention of getting into a clinch with him.

Instead, the UFC on ABC 7 is almost certainly going to be a striking match. This suits Oleksiejczuk as he’s a fantastic kickboxer who lands more than 5 significant strikes a minute. He’s fast and strong and usually does well against other strikers.

In fact, the last three times he fought kickboxers, he won – against Chidi Njokuani, Cody Brundage, and Sam Alvey. Can he do the same against Shara Bullet?

Sharabutdin Magomedov vs. Michal Oleksiejczuk Prediction

Will Shara Bullet get fraud checked on August 3? We think he might. He’s a hell of a striker who likes beating people up, but he just doesn’t have enough experience to do well against such a great tactician with great stamina as Hussar.

Pick: Michal Oleksiejczuk
