Shara seems to think he can fight in the US as he's calling out Kevin Holland for Denver.
Saudi "thing" will be regular for 100%. UFC does not want into Europe because they are losing profit due to moving staff and etc. into Europe. In Saudi its same but Saudi's cover the loss of profit from their own pocket. Otherwise Ankalaev, Chimaev, Shara and etc... couldn't even be in UFC.Shara is a striking heavy action fighter with a unique look, that was his hype, no one expected him to become champ, or if they did, they quickly changed their minds after his first fight.
He will likely fight 2 times a year if they do the Saudi thing regularly, so once in Saudi and once in UAE.
Its kinda different when u are resident of country which is considered as terrorist regime by 90% of world. Mainly if u are part of circle used for propaganda about how ur country is "great".I don't get it, if it's because of Kadyrov then several western fighters would not fight in the US either...
I think Saudi Arabia will be bi-annual for the next few years. One PPV and one card on ABC/ESPN.
Abu Dhabi seems to be annual, and I think there's a chance they go to Dubai at the same time, meaning they would visit the Middle East 4 times a year.
Welp not that he was ever touching the title but he isn't gonna be fighting in the US where most cards are.
There's a difference between taking a picture with Kadyrov and having a relationship with him. Khamzat has strong connections, regularly hangs out with him and has taken a ton of gifts. They are best buds.Of course it is based on what part of the world they are form. That is why Khamzat (a Chechen pictured with Kadyrov) is banned from US/Europe/Australia/South America while Cejudo/Kamaru/Gaethje/Werdum (Americans/West Hem people also pictured with Kadyrov) are not banned from US/Europe/Australia/South America.
You need vision in both eyes to fight in most state commission sanctioned bouts. Bisping has talked about how he fooled the medical tests for the last part of his career.BTW
Shara is actually in USA right now, so It must be a thing with his eye why he can fight there.
Or maybe something else changed.
