Shara Magomedov explains why Michael Bisping is his MMA inspiration

UFC star Shara Magomedov has explained why he considers former champion Michael Bisping an inspiration.

As many of you know, Shara Magomedov is considered by many to be the next big thing. The 30-year-old is 14-0 in his professional mixed martial arts career and 3-0 since arriving in the UFC. This weekend he will look to extend that record when he takes on Armen Petrosyan in a tense fight.

Of course, given the expectations placed on him, there is a lot of pressure on his shoulders. Despite this, he always seems to handle himself with great dignity – even in the midst of all the chaos.

One of the most notable things about Magomedov, aside from his fighting ability, is his visual impairment. Michael Bisping has experienced something similar in his career and for Magomedov the Englishman is a real role model.
