All that matters for Shara Magomedov is he’s fighting Saturday. Everything else is irrelevant.
The UFC middleweight lost his opponent for UFC on ABC 6 on two different occasions and had to land on a third name just days before his return to the octagon. This may be stressing and problematic for many fighters, as it can vastly change a gameplay and or the preparation, but for Magomedov (12-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC), it’s business as usual.
“It’s nothing strange, nothing new for me,” Magomedov told reporters at the UFC on ABC 6 media day. “Back when I was an amateur, I would fight a new opponent every day, and they were switching so quickly that I didn’t even have a chance to learn anything about my next opponent, so I would just fight. Nothing changes for me. I come out to do my work and win.”
