UFC middleweight Shara Magomedov has claimed to have competed in Saudi Arabia in spite of an injury.
Things didn't go to plan for Magomedov in Riyadh this weekend, with the one-eyed Dagestani falling to his first professional and UFC loss at the mixed martial arts leader's second event in Saudi Arabia.
After a 4-0 start to life in the Octagon, Magomedov's 0 was taken by welterweight contender Michael "Venom" Page, whose one-off move up to 185 pounds proved to be a success as he pieced "Bullet" up on the feet across three rounds.
Magomedov took to Instagram a few hours on to post his first statement, during which he revealed that the fight was actually in doubt during the lead-up due to a "nightmarish health condition" he was suffering from.
