Zabit Magomedsharipov wants to face Raul Rosas Jr.

Zabit Magomedsharipov has expressed his desire to face Raul Rosas Jr. Zabit was forced to withdraw from the bout planned for July at ACBJJ, and his brother Khasan Magomedsharipov took his place. Rosas beat Khasan by rear-naked choke in the first round.

Zabit spoke to Red Corner MMA. He said he believes he is stronger in raw power, while the matchup would be interesting in terms of pure technical skill.

Last week, Rosas also defeated Colby Covington by rear-naked choke in the first round. Zabit said Covington underestimated Rosas and should not have given up his back so easily.

Zabit, meanwhile, will face Giga Chikadze in a freestyle wrestling match at the RAF event in Abu Dhabi on November 14.
