In July 2023, he was involved in an alleged brawl at a shopping mall. In a video of the incident, he could be seen having heated discussions with a man in front of him on an escalator. As per sources, the man was kissing his girlfriend. The altercation escalated, and the two got into fisticuffs, with the civilian (who threw the first punch) managing to hold his own against the fighter before they were separated.
The middleweight, however, did not take kindly to this. In the extended video, Sharaputdin Magomedov could be seen waiting outside the mall. He proceeded to sucker punch his opponent as he was coming out of the mall with his girlfriend, downing him. He then brutally stomped on his fallen foe’s head.
Needless to say, ‘Bullet’ garnered quite a bit of heat following the altercation, but Magomedov defended himself in a statement, saying, “One has to understand the situation, in Makhachkala, there are unwritten rules, a kind of moral code of our own…In Moscow it is acceptable, but with us, it is not acceptable. I could not shut up.” He seemed to believe that it was indeed the right thing to do, but what about you?
