Sharabutdin Magomedov to Face Neiman Gracie in Grappling Match

Sharabutdin Magomedov, a UFC middleweight, will compete against Neiman Gracie, a former Bellator welterweight, in a grappling match at the Real American Freestyle event in Moscow on September 5.

Magomedov, known as Shara Bullet, recently secured a unanimous decision victory over Michel Pereira in June. He has prior grappling experience, having fought to draws against Arman Tsarukyan and Edson Barboza in lightweight bouts.

Gracie has not fought since losing a decision to Magomed Umalatov at PFL in August 2024. He previously challenged for the Bellator welterweight title in 2019 and has a mixed record of 4-5 in his last nine fights. His latest grappling match was in 2023, where he submitted Benson Henderson.

The match is part of a notable card that includes Khamzat Chimaev versus Tyron Woodley and features other prominent athletes like Abdulrashid Sadulaev and Anatoly Malykhin.
