Shara ‘Bullet’ Magomedov vows not to shoot against Michael ‘Venom’ Page
Who will shoot a takedown during Saturday morning’s UFC Saudi Arabia fight between Michael “Venom” Page and Shara “Bullet” Magomedov?
It’s been a hot topic between the two strikers, who definitely have enough ground skills built up over their extensive careers to change the flow of the fight should they decide to use them. “MVP” has always excelled on the feet and struggled when opponents wrestled him to the canvas, so you’d think it was in Shara’s best interest to threaten takedowns. But the half-blind fighter says there’s no way that’s happening
“I’ve had twenty fights in MMA at this point, and I’ve never gone for a takedown,” he said during media day interviews. “I watched his fights. It doesn’t look like he goes for takedowns too much. But I’m going to be that person. I’m going to make ‘MVP’ be the first one to jump for a takedown.”
In response, Page has said he might go for a takedown, but it ain’t gonna be out of desperation.
“When I said it, I wasn’t talking about who was going to do it first,” Page clarified during his media day time. “I was simply saying he would. I can make him do it.”
“I’m happy to shoot a takedown. This is an MMA game,” he continued. “So, I’m happy to do it. I’ve been working on that area, but I don’t feel like I’ll need to. There’s a difference. I may get to a point where I feel like it may be worth draining him out on the floor a little bit, landing some shots, elbows on the floor. So I may do that, but I don’t think I’m going to need to.”
“Whereas, if he shoots a takedown, it’ll be for a completely different reason. If I do it, it’s just part of my game plan. If he does it, he’s in danger. That’s the difference.”
The takeaway here is this fight will be contested on the feet, which is exciting, not on the ground, which is boring. Not an outlook we agree on, but we’ve all seen those fights where the flashy high-flying striker gets pinned to the mat and dragged to a disappointing decision. We’re getting guarantees this won’t be one of those, and honestly? We’ll take it in this case.
Shara ‘Bullet’ Magomedov, the Russian MMA fighter known for his deadly accuracy in the cage, has made a surprising announcement ahead of his upcoming fight against Michael ‘Venom’ Page. In a recent interview, Magomedov stated that he has no intention of shooting against Page, despite his reputation as a master of striking.
“I have the utmost respect for Michael Page and his skills as a striker,” Magomedov said. “I know that trying to outstrike him would be a dangerous game, so I have decided to stick to my own strengths in this fight.”
Magomedov’s decision to avoid shooting against Page is a bold move, considering that his wrestling and ground game are considered to be his greatest assets. However, Magomedov is confident that he can find a way to defeat Page without resorting to his usual tactics.
“I believe that I have what it takes to beat Page at his own game,” Magomedov declared. “I have been training hard and studying his style, and I am confident that I can outsmart him in the cage.”
Fans of both fighters are eagerly anticipating the showdown between Magomedov and Page, with many speculating on how the fight will play out. Will Magomedov be able to stick to his game plan and defeat Page without shooting, or will Page’s striking prowess prove to be too much for the Russian fighter to handle?
One thing is for certain – this fight is sure to be an exciting and unpredictable clash of styles. Stay tuned for updates on this highly anticipated matchup between two of the top fighters in the MMA world.
