'Shara Bullet' to Face Armen Petrosyan at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi

Sharabutdin Magomedov, more commonly known as “Shara Bullet,” will square off against Armen Petrosyan in a middleweight bout at UFC 308.

The Las Vegas-based promotion announced the booking on Monday. UFC 308 takes place on Oct. 26 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi and is headlined by a featherweight championship clash pitting Ilia Topuria against Max Holloway. A light heavyweight clash between Ibo Aslan and Raffael Cerqueira was also confirmed for the event.

Magomedov has won three straight contests to begin his Octagon tenure. Most recently, the 30-year-old Dagestani outpointed Michal Oleksiejczuk at UFC on ABC 7 to improve his overall professional mark to 14-0.

After earning a UFC contract on Dana White's Contender Series in 2021, Petrosyan has gone 3-2 thus far during his promotional tenure. In his last outing, the 33-year-old Armenian had a two-bout winning streak snapped when he suffered a first-round submission defeat against Rodolfo Vieira at UFC Fight Night 236.
