UFC fighter Sharaputdin Magomedov thrives in the octagon despite vision loss

Sharaputdin Magomedov, a ranked UFC middleweight, has achieved success despite losing vision in his right eye. After multiple surgeries, he opted for removal, allowing him to return to fighting. He remains undefeated with a record of 15 wins. Magomedov's unique situation has not hindered his performance. He has finished 12 of his 15 fights, showcasing impressive skills, including a recent knockout victory at UFC 308. He is set to fight Michael Page on February 1, 2024. While he has thrived in the UFC, Magomedov faces challenges regarding competition in the U.S. due to his vision issues. UFC CEO Dana White has expressed concerns about his licensing, but there are indications that special agreements may allow him to fight in the U.S. in the future.
