Sharabutdin Magomedov believes Michael Page is more reliable than Paulo Costa.
Magomedov was recently asked about Costa and “MVP” as potential opponents for his next fight. While “Shara Bullet” would like to fight both, he doesn’t think Costa is very reliable considering the Brazilian’s history of pulling out of fights. Magomedov would prefer Page, who is also a dynamic striker.
Despite being from Dagestan, which is home to some of the best wrestlers in the world, Magomedov is primarily a striker who has competed in muay thai and Lethwei for much of his career. And Magomedov doesn’t plan on turning into a wrestler in a potential clash against a flashy striker like Page.
“I’d like to fight them both. Of course, Page is a better option because Costa isn’t consistent enough,” Magomedov recently told Red Corner MMA. “He pulls out quite often… I’d love to fight Page. He’s always ready to go. I attended his fight in Las Vegas [UFC 303]. He’s an interesting guy, or a ‘cool dude’, I’d say. It would be exciting… I don’t think I’d ever throw away my game plan. He’s the one who’ll find himself on the canvas. So, I’ll have to ground-and-pound him a bit. I’m not going to wrestle with him. I’m going to stick to my fighting style, my plan, like I always did.”
Page decisioned Kevin Holland in his debut at UFC 299 this past March and has since dropped a unanimous decision against Ian Garry at UFC 303 in June.
Meanwhile, Magomedov is undefeated in 15 pro outings, which includes four inside the UFC. “Shara Bullet” most recently scored a one-of-kind double spinning backfist knockout over Armen Petrosyan at UFC 308 this past October. Despite having competed three times within a span of four months, Magomedov wanted to compete at UFC Macau on Nov. 23. However, the UFC advised him to take some time off.
”I wanted to fight in Macau next. But the UFC insisted I should take some time off, get hungry. Thanks to the UFC for their care, but I’m always charged and ready to perform, in Saudi Arabia or any place they want.”
