"I am sure Azerbaijani fans will support me." These words were said by Shara Bullet, known as "Pirat", while talking about his upcoming fight.
He invited fans to the tournament: "I am ready for the fight and will be in perfect shape by June 27. Nothing can stop me from winning a bright victory in Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani audience is dear to me. People in Azerbaijan and throughout the Caucasus will cheer for me. I am the 'pirate' of the Caspian Sea. I invite everyone who supports me to the arena. We will win together."
"When I learned last year that the UFC tournament would be held in Azerbaijan, I was at a training camp in Dagestan. I immediately contacted my manager and expressed my desire to fight in Baku. But it didn't work out then. I am glad it became possible this time."
"I am sure this tournament will be at a higher level because Azerbaijan now has more experience in this field. Most athletes fighting in Baku prefer striking. Rafael Fiziev will perform in the main fight. So fans can expect a real show."
"I always try to finish the fight early. That is my goal this time too. I want my opponent to be unable to stand when I am declared the winner."
"I have trained with Azerbaijani fighters. We often train together in Thailand and support each other. Azerbaijani fighter Alovsat Mamiyev is my friend. I feel connected to Azerbaijanis through sports. That is the beauty of sports—it unites people."
It should be noted that on June 27, at the National Gymnastics Arena, during "UFC Fight Night," middleweight Sharabutdin "Shara Bullet" Magomedov (Russia) will face Brazilian Michel Pereira.
