Rashid Magomedov renewed contract at the UFC

For a long time it seemed that UFC Lightweight fighter Rashid Magomedov would sign with the ACB or Fight Nights Global organization, however, The MMA Kings announced today that Magomedov has signed a renewed UFC agreement. Magomedov was "free agent" last month after his victory against Bobby Green. For a long time, the UFC did not seem to be interested (or at least in no hurry) to extend Magomedov's contract. This has happened so far.

Rashid Magomedov (MMA 20-2 / UFC 5-1) is one of the most underrated fighters in the UFC Lightweight division. Rus from Makhachkala, Dagestan, Russia entered the UFC 15-1 record in 2014. Magomedov had won the prestigious M-1 Global title in Russia and once defended. Magomedov debuted in the UFC against Tony Martin. A fight that the Rus would win through Unanimous Decision. Three months later, Magomedov fought again, this time in Brazil against Rodrigo Damm. Magomedov had little effort and won quite easily through Unanimous Decision. At the end of 2014, Magomedov had to go to Brazil again. This time Elias Silverio was the opponent. Magomedov showed again about having very strong standup. Magomedov did not reach the judges and beat Silverio three seconds ahead of time via TKO. By the end of 2015, the undefeated BJJ Specialist Gilbert Burns (again in Brazil) was facing Magomedov. Magomedov continued playing his own game, making Burns never in his own game. Again this time, the Brazilian won Brazil from a Brazilian. This gave him the extra nickname "The Brazilian Killer". Due to injuries, Magomedov had to cancel a fight with Chris Wade in Rotterdam, but he returned in November 2016. In Mexico, the resigned Beneil Dariush was the opponent. In a declining battle, Dariush's unanimous decision was too strong for the Russian who had to swallow his first loss in the UFC. Magomedov fought his last party on his UFC contract against American Bobby Green last month in Kansas City. Magomedov and Green made a competitive battle of Magomedov seem to land "cleaner". Two of the three judges also found that Magomedov won the battle through Split Decision.

 
Magomedov won that fucking fight, I don't know what the judges are smoking.

Good, he's a solid fighter. Not great by any means, but definitely UFC level and then some.

I don't feel bad for fighters who Masvidal themselves.

Fight a boring, passive style, better hope you get a finish.
 
Great,hope to see some good wins from him.Liked his fight vs Silverio a lot.
 
He's a very good fighter that could be great if he was a bit more agressive.
 
No surprise.
He recently signed with Ali's management team and Ali knows how to deal with UFC.
