Sharaputdin Magomedov will put his unbeaten record on the line on Saturday, February 1, when he takes on Michael Page at UFC Fight Night 250 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This is a bout of two upcoming stars, with ‘Bullet’ ranked 14th and ‘Venom’ ranked 15th in the UFC middleweight division. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

Shara Magomedov is a UFC star that everyone is keeping their eye on as a potential future champion, who possesses a diverse striking style that integrates Muay Thai and kickboxing techniques. 

‘Bullet’ has a 100% win rate in the UFC, currently 15-0, with 12 wins coming by way of KO/TKO and three by decision, including victories over the likes of Bruno Silva, Antonio Trocoli, Michal Oleksiejczuk and Armen Petrosyan. 

Notably, Magomedov lands 6.82 significant strikes per minute - the highest average of anyone in the middleweight division at present - and is seven years younger than his upcoming opponent. 

Meanwhile, Michael Page is on the road to redemption, looking to rebound from his loss by unanimous decision to Ian Machado Garry last year, which took his record to 23-3 overall. 

Only one of ‘Venom’s’ three defeats have come by TKO, which was against Douglas Lima in 2019, while his 22 wins have seen 13 come by way of KO/TKO, three by submission, and six by decision. 

Page may be seven years older and 6kgs lighter than his opponent here, but he has the height and significant reach advantage over Magomedov - something that could be crucial in the standup contest.
