Shara Magomedov hopes to face Nick Diaz at UFC 308 to boost fame.

Unbeaten Russian fighter Shara Magomedov is making waves in the MMA world, and he believes a fight with the legendary Nick Diaz would be the perfect opportunity to further solidify his name in the sport. Magomedov improved his record to 14-0 in the UFC by defeating Michal Oleksiejczuk in a hard-fought battle at UFC on ABC 7 in Abu Dhabi.

The co-main event at Etihad Arena saw Magomedov earn a well-deserved victory, showcasing his skill and determination in the octagon. Following his win, Magomedov wasted no time in calling out Diaz, who was initially set to face Vicente Luque on the same card but had to withdraw due to travel issues. Magomedov stepped up to fill the void left by Diaz, and now he’s eyeing a showdown with the Stockton native.

Speaking at the post-fight news conference, Magomedov expressed his desire to face Diaz and emphasized the impact such a bout could have on his career. He believes that defeating a high-profile fighter like Diaz would catapult him to superstardom and elevate his status within the MMA community.

While Diaz’s return in 2024 remains uncertain, Magomedov is open to facing other big names in the octagon. With UFC 308 scheduled for October 26 in Abu Dhabi, Magomedov is eager to take on formidable opponents who are willing to step up and challenge him. Whether it’s Diaz or another prominent figure in the MMA world, Magomedov is focused on cementing his status as a top contender in the promotion.

UFC President Dana White has hinted that Diaz’s return may not happen this year, but that hasn’t dampened Magomedov’s enthusiasm for securing a marquee matchup at UFC 308. The Russian standout is prepared to face anyone who poses a significant challenge and is ready to engage in a high-profile battle that will capture the attention of fans around the globe.

As Magomedov looks ahead to his next fight, the MMA community eagerly anticipates the announcement of his opponent for UFC 308.
