Sharaputdin Magomedov has attracted quite a bit of attention owing to his performance inside the octagon. To build up even more hype for himself, he needs to rely on his communication skills.
Which languages does ‘Shara Bullet use as tools for communication with the MMA fans? Let's find out.
Magomedov hails from the Republic of Dagestan, Russia. This gives us some clue that ‘Shara Bullet’ must be proficient in some Dagestani dialects.
During the pre-fight press conference for UFC 308, the undefeated Dagestani striker took the help of a Russian translator to answer the questions thrown by the media. This showed how fluent ‘Bullet’ was in his mother tongue.
‘Bullet’ has also spent some significant time in China. He competed in Chinese fight promotions in 2017 and 2018.
This might have brushed off a few words and phrases on Magomedov. However, we haven’t really seen him speak any Chinese dialect. His primary language remains Russian, but he can certainly understand and speak English.
Following his unanimous decision win over Bruno Silva at UFC 294, Magomedov impressed the fight fans with his English. Of course, he wasn’t as fluent as a native speaker, or anywhere near the proficiency level of Khabib Nurmagomedov.
However, he accomplished the mission of relaying his message to the fighting community, during his conversation with Daniel Cormier in the post-fight interview.
The Dagestani mixed martial artist certainly needs to put his efforts to increase his proficiency in English language. After all, he often finds himself in the middle of controversies.
Magomedov is set to battle Michael ‘Venom’ Page at UFC Saudi Arabia. This fight has been attracting fight fans because of the fighters’ tendency to engage in unorthodox striking, making their fights highly interesting.
