Where he stands
Shara Magomedov is 6-1 across 7 fights on our tape. He's on a 2-fight winning run. Our rating has him at 1620 — it moves with every result and weights who he beat, so a win over a ranked opponent counts for far more than one over a debutant. A record on its own says very little in this sport — two fighters at 12-3 can have faced completely different opposition, which is exactly the gap the rating is built to close.
He's a volume striker
Shara lands 5.5 significant strikes a minute and absorbs 3.6. The gap between what he lands and what he takes is the good kind — output without a matching cost is the most durable striking edge there is. His takedown defense sits at 73% — for a striker that's the number that decides whether he gets to fight his fight at all.
How the model reads him
Shara's rating updates after every result and weights the quality of the opponent. Against a specific opponent it becomes a win probability, adjusted for the stylistic matchup — striking output against absorption, takedown rate against takedown defense — plus age and layoff. The weighting is ours; the output is published on the fight board and graded.
What we'd flag
The tape starts in 2015 and covers UFC and Contender Series only, so career records elsewhere aren't reflected. Beyond that: MMA has the highest single-event variance of anything we model, and no rating survives contact with a flush shot.
