Mini bio
How it started.
Shara grew up in Dagestan and says he began boxing at 12 to be able to stand his ground in street fights. His background widened to Thai boxing, kickboxing and Burmese boxing before he made his professional MMA debut in 2017.
Finding his audience.
He arrived in the UFC in October 2023 and beat Bruno Silva on his debut. His pirate persona and attacking style helped him stand out, but the moment many fans remember is UFC 308: two spinning backfists, thrown in opposite directions, knocked out Armen Petrosyan in the second round.
The next chapter.
Michael Page ended his unbeaten MMA run in February 2025. Shara responded with decision wins over Marc-Andre Barriault and Michel Pereira, while also taking grappling and wrestling matches outside the Octagon. In November 2026, UFC announced his first main event, against Israel Adesanya in Riyadh on December 5.
