Zabit Magomedsharipov Withdraws From Moscow Grappling Return

An injury forces him out with his brother Khasan taking the headline slot and Zabit’s long‑rumored comeback left unresolved.

Overview

  • Zabit Magomedsharipov was scheduled to face UFC bantamweight Raul Rosas Jr. in a no‑gi grappling match at ACBJJ 21 in Moscow but pulled out after suffering an injury.
  • Promoters confirmed Khasan Magomedsharipov, Zabit’s younger brother, will replace him and now headlines the card against Rosas Jr.
  • Khasan enters the short‑notice spot riding momentum from a recent first‑round submission win at PFL San Diego.
  • Zabit posted on his Instagram story that he will attend the event despite withdrawing, so he will be present but will not compete.
  • The withdrawal extends uncertainty around Zabit’s return to competition after a long layoff since his last MMA bout in 2019 and a history of canceled fights that stalled his career.
