- Zabit Magomedsharipov was the ultimate striking maestro on the UFC stage. With his exquisite kicking technique, exotic submissions* and unmatched charisma, he not only captured the imagination of fans around the world, but also broke their hearts by calling it quits just one step away from a title fight. It's time to look back at Zabit's epic journey through the whirlpool of martial arts and the reasons of his frustrating retirement.

These dudes are on another level. They don't fight for money they fight for survival
Indeed. It’s like being raised in the ghetto
@@YourFavoriteSociologist-pw3cmI already know you’re a whiteboy from the west. Blacks dominate you in America and you whine , now the whole world dominated you in UFC and again you whine. Just give up.
@@boognish. Not even close. Russia makes the ghetto look like day care.
@@YourFavoriteSociologist-pw3cmwhich one don't just give shitty excuse give proof
@@boognish. you don’t understand what ghetto means, I don’t mention they are ghetto.
The people just live that way something by economic in needed.
Through their hard work they can overcome the difficulties than many people in first world take dope in Olympic.
Zabit was always on my list of favorites, I just wish his health was well enough to go far like he should have
Brutal weight cut will do that to you.
That’s why you don’t cut a lot of weight
@MrShanetafoya Wasn't he like 6'1 and trying to force his body down to featherweight? I know he was tall and rangy.
Where is he? What happened to him?
@stillhere7193 he retired in 2022 due to having a life threatening surgery because his immune system was severely compromised and he was getting very ill, all because of a massive weight cut.
One of the most "what if" in ufc history, this man could be a legend like Aldo, Volk, Holloway...
Not enough cardio to do it against the higher rated guys imo
He was too big for featherweight and too small for lightweight. The cut to featherweight is what did him in.
The whole "he doesnt have cardio" thing is bullshit the dude had to be operated for spasms in his diaphragm. You know the muscles that controls your lungs?
Im not a doctor but i believe it could have some effect on your cardio don't you think?
Lol they ain't legends? More like Khabib jones etc
@@user-kn1uj2tp6rman was always skinny what are you talking about?
Zabit chose a career in helping people (medicine) over a career in breaking people (UFC) 👍
Should've stayed on the UFC, medicine nowadays is garbage, the system is completely broken and it's not set out to help people.
@@user-pq3vd6oc1c more the reason to
Zabit is my favorite fighter of all time. Wish we could have seen Cardio Zabit, he woulda been double champ. Sad thinking about "what if". Insane how fast he leveled his ground game from fight 3-5. Crazy shit.
Same bro he would've been the first triple cham and greatest of all time easy
@@YourFavoriteSociologist-pw3cm
Yeah man, TheWeasle did a video on what condition it was and supposedly Zabit got the surgery and fixed it. But he never came back after that, sad shit.
@@YourFavoriteSociologist-pw3cm
I couldn't see Zabit or any Dagestanies doing that, maybe the Chechens
@@YourFavoriteSociologist-pw3cm Mythical Fighter: Full Health Bar Zabit
Me too but I don’t mind I hope he’s at peace and living a good life
Despite what happened one can't help but think that in an alternate universe Zabit has the cardio and is very healthy while wearing a UFC title around his waist. I wish Zabit all the best in all his endeavors, that he finds further success and thank you Zabit for your amazing fights it was a joy and a great pleasure to watch.
zabit is coming back next year btw
@greigite5191 I don't think we will ever get to see him fight again but that would be great
says who? because he said he will never fight again for personal and religious reasons...
@@William-Morey-Baker That's odd to not fight again for religious reasons but train his brother to fight
There is absolutely ZERO doubt in my mind that Zabit would have been a UFC champion if it weren't for the health issues. Easily one of the most naturally gifted strikers that has ever graced the organization.
If my Aunt had balls she'd be my Uncle.
the guy had a terrible gas tank.
Its not about terrible gas tank, its about health issues you🤡 @@malinko35 🤡
@@malinko35he had lung issue and that’s why he stopped
@@profinneupane6883 i think he had bitch in his heart
He had everything in the toolbox to be a champion. Glad hes doing well for himself and he genuinely seems happy
Maybe not cardio
cardio wasn't one of his strongest attributes
Cheers to who ever makes these videos are the most researched and informative videos on combat sports on TH-cam. Bravo.
Их делают русские, это наш канал для иностранной аудитории
@@user-fj8pj6jz3lMontenegro isn't in Russia lol
The greatest "What If" in MMA. Especially knowing that it was a health issue that was causing his cardio problems that he actually resolved through surgery...
I can only dream that he's going to come back, but if he does not, I hope he makes an army of fighters as good or even better than himself.
Yeah totaly
Fr🐐
As far as I'm aware his health issue is resolved, but he decided to retire to become a doctor instead
He retired to become a doctor. He isn't making fighters. Only fixing them.
@@DoubleDOwnage He's still in his brothers corner, so he's still coaching.
This was guy was my go to on UFC2 and UFC3, Zabit was unstoppable sad his career was short
he wasn't even in ufc 2 only ufc 3 and 4 and now 5
Zabit vs Yair is maybe the best fight we never got
Ilia?
@shizzle1903 u don't get it at one point the fight between zabit and yair was to happen
Yair dodged him
yair runned for 2 straight years from this gentleman@@web4044
for years too@@web4044
He left like a boss..
And became a doctor
@@recur68Damn being a Doctor is underachieving? What are you?
Indeed. Hopefully he’s doing well. Solid all around dude from what I hear.
@@recur68 in what universe is a doctor under achieving
Not at all, he obviously left because he was scared of losing
wish him as much sucess in the medical field as he had in octagon
Most complete, elegant & efficient fighter ever! Just MMA poetry in motion! The man's seen it all, which explains his humble attitude. The manifestation of a healthy mind in a healthy body. Very special human being.
❤💯
How does Zabit taste? A little salty?
@@88unstopable Very sweet to the eye, can tell you that. Young blood, dont be trolling around like most people who have no purpose in life. Be constructive & respect ppl's opinion.
@@mmatramxcellence777 but someone will trolling around like an idiot.
@@user-vb3bk2sl1j Everybody needs guidance. Ignorance is a big enemy of humanity & creates misunderstanding & frustration. This can be avoided by increasing your knowledge & feeding your spirituality,
I miss him in the UFC, he could have gone very far
hes coming back next year btw
source ????
@@greigite5191
@@greigite5191This better be real, he's so entertaining to watch.
@@greigite5191 where did u hear that from? curious as well.
Could have easily been champ. I wasn't aware of him KOing Sterling in sparring, but big ups to Sterling for even admitting that, as the majority of fighters wouldn't dare to make something like that public. Also, aside from his health and personal reasons for not continuing his MMA journey, he did make it public that he wanted to pursue a career in medicine which obviously couldn't be fulfilled if he continued fighting.
he wouldnt of have been champ, his cardio was super poor
@@jasonchen8264Still more than what you could have accomplished...
@@jasonchen8264 There's been plenty of champions with poor cardio.
@@jasonchen8264wouldn’t have
mcgregor. this guy does remind me of gregor, his super snappy kicks and punches.
Truly once in a lifetime talent.
Really enjoyed his fighting skills and he seemed like a great guy.
Hope he is healthy and well
He became a doctor and opened his own offices and enjoying life via travelling
As much as i would've likef to see him fight again, i also think its cool we have this mystical guy we never saw in his prime, and we can only wonder what levels he might have achieved...
hes coming back next year btw
@@greigite5191 why do you think that
@@hyggeravn6325 pretty sure his younger brother said so
@@greigite5191 I highly doubt it, but maybe
@@hyggeravn6325 he did, but im not sure if its true, since zabit said he retired, i really hope it is true though
one of my favorite fighters to watch, I would compare his striking that of a video game character.
He proved that for a legacy in Combat sports you no need to become the champion or no need to even have a long run Zabit comesback or not his name is placed.
A truly unique fighter with an entertaining style! Killer video as always!
Gosh I love martial arts of all forms. Karate, jujitsu, wrestling, free style wrestling, Judo, kick boxing, Taekwondo and so so many more. 👏 are bodys are truly the art
Every time we see him we always miss this brother of ours♥️Always want to see him 🧐
Thank you so much for making this great video about one of my all time favourites!! He is a brilliant fighter but a great man as well. He always wanted to help people who suffered, which is why he is now a doctor
i hope he will comeback again❤
He is my favorite fighter ever his style was so unique
That dude might be skinny but holy shit does he ever hit hard af. I can’t believe how strong he is for how small he looks! Can you imagine someone thinking they’re gonna be a “tough guy”, and start picking on this dude cause he’s skinny and doesn’t look imposing and he just absolutely rocks their shit with a head kick from seemingly outta nowhere, or a spinning back fist, again, seemingly from outta nowhere, or he just grapples their ass down into a guillotine? Man he’s good and I’m absolutely sorry to hear he is no longer fighting in the UFC. I’ve never been to a live event, but I’d pay and even travel to Las Vegas JUST to see him fight, don’t even care the opponent.
Zabit in a street fight would be amazing. His movement is so diverse, his strikes so explosive and his wrestling so fast.
His body kicks are brutal
Are you describing his SParring session with Aljo? because that is exactly what happened, Aljo even tells the story how he sparred some guy without even recognizing or knowing who it was...it just so happened to be his bad luck that person was Zabit.....AND ALJo said he had never been so Mesmerized by what he saw, He had NEVER been Hit as hard as that AND Legit was the last time he pretty much had to take a time out due to all the punishment he took from that sparring session!!
What if Yair wasn't injured?? we missed a god level fight due to that injury!!!
That wasn't injury, he dodged him two times
@@JimNuron Yh I think so first time I head about it I figured he was really injured but two times in a row? sounds like a duck, yair would have lost that match has no wrestling so zabit would have ragdolled him and was more awkward and tricky on feet so would have been hard for yair either way
Zabit was the best Dagestan fighter to watch in my opinion.
The way he mixed up the attacks was sublime.
I only wish his career was longer, so we would have more highlights.
agreed, i think he is or was the best dagestani in terms of striking.
The Greatest 'What If' in the sport of mma. We will never know what he could have achieved but can only speculate.
It's crazy how many mma "fans" (Russia or Muslim haters or Conor lovers) say Dagestan fighters can only hug... but the most creative and fun striker ever is literally from a Dagestan 😂😂😂 casuals took over the world lol
Disagree.... Michel peirera and Stephen Thompson have great striking
This comment is as ignorant and stupid and the very people it’s trying to poke fun at.
It's crazy how Dagestani fans can't just enjoy a fighter from their region without picking fights with everyone who isn't Dagestani. You guys are the ones who invite hostility. It's actually hilarious how much self awareness you all lack.
I believe Islam is a better striker than Zabit TBH
Zabit is just more flashy.
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 Michel meh, is exotic but not as good as Wonderboy.
This guy is going places with these skills and acrobatic moves❤
was*
Wow... This guy deserves a crown
👑👑👑
I miss this guy so much 😢❤
I'm a fairly new sub but already went through this channel's back catalog. These spotlight videos are always entertaining and has a certain style going for them. Keep up the good work.
I miss Zabit, please come back dude..
Amazing talent!Best of the best!What more can i say?RESPECT ZABIT LEGEND AND GENTELMAN!
by far the best video yet. all your vids are epic but this subject is above the rest. thank you
so sad that he got to retire, this guy was a damn beast and we will never see reach his full potential, still a legend
hes coming back next year btw
@@greigite5191 how u know that?
@@matiasguzman7635 his younger brother, which zabits trains right now, said hes coming back
@@greigite5191 damn that's shocking and amazing, thanks for the info dude but still i dont want to get too excited till it's official
very impressive athlete... it was a great joy to watch his entertaining fights! big talent❤
He was so so fun to watch. The skill he had. Ufc need this kind type fighter as soos as possible.
Jumping over that trip when on 1 foot already was awesome!!!
He really was exciting to watch- dynamic and fluid.
His English and charisma are indeed unmatched.
watched the whole video absolutely enjoyed and loved it man if he ever returns we'll be waiting for one of the most promising fighters ever his fight style was captivating and Dana should've fought tooth and nail to keep him healthy and happy. he would've sold ppv out the wazoo as a division champ.
Love the videos! Great editing and commentary. Thank you from New Glarus Wisconsin
I just can’t get over the quality of your videos
thanks for the video!! he truly is great
My Favorite Fighter of all time. 🙏
literally was looking for this all night, thanks
Aww man! I didn't know about this! I thought he just had to take some injured time off. I didn't know he retired! This sucks. He was one of the best ones out there. He would have been a fantastic champion. 🏆 Salute! 🙏
Haven't seen Sanda/Sachou in the octagona since Cung Lee. Zabit is a breath of fresh air of the mma scene, could see him fight every week😊!
What a shame he retired. Another a great fighter 💪 retired to early. He had remarkable skills, entertaining over the top style and killer instincts. I hope he comes back, another Dagastani champion 🏆 🥇
This channel is fantastic. Been watching since the beginning
So fun to watch
He was my favorite UFC fighter
the world deserves a fight between Zabit and Jair 🔥🔥🔥
miss that man, what if
It’s a shame he’s no longer in the UFC, this guy could’ve easily made it to the top
Fun fact:
“Zabit” in my language (Czech🇨🇿) means “kill”
True honest man set his priority to be & stay humble & honourable in real life
Brother you are the Zabit of commentators! As always, excellent video! Cheers!
Thank you so much for making such an informative video
Learnt a lot about one of my favourite fighters
Bro i miss Zabit so much😢
When I seen the Zabit vs Kyle match that's when I became a huge fan. He's ninja Lincoln and his style is so fun to watch.
Great video! Respect to Zabit!
zabit vs bonsniack was my introduction to him, instant fan of both!
Great video, I watched every second of it intently.
Zabit, you fight in artistic way. you are a great and great champ on the eyes of public who love MMA. Thank you Zabit.
What a fun fighter and he seemed like a likeable guy. I'm glad I watched. Now that I know about him I wish I could see him fight more
For those who dont know where is he now.
Well, he quit mma community and studying medicine and is a doctor now !
I'm so early for once! Youre the best damn fight channel on all of YT. Please for the love of everything sacred keep doing what you do. So damn entertaining.
what a fun fighter to watch and great video, thank you
You know what I find amazing? Not the grit these people show inside the cage but outside. These guys are fighting so much outside that is even more inspiring what they display inside. Fantastic!
Great video, I remember watching his debut and was immediately a fan. Wish he was able to keep going and get that title shot.
Well done Zabit!!!! Legendary Run....
Zabit and Yair would've been fire🔥
Wish we coulda saw this guy face higher ranked opponents, what a phenom.
Huge respect! A TRUE FIGHTER!
He was just amazing..
Damn. This new video got my hype for a second, thought he was making a comeback.
The most complete and the most what if fighter I have ever laid my eyes on.
He is my all time favourite 😊
In our MINDS...... When we IMAGINE how WE fight…. IT is EXACTLY like Zabit!
Vote sport is one of the best combat sports channels on TH-cam!
What a fighter
Now he is in my favourite list
Yair Rodriguez became "champ" and he ducked Zabit so many times the UFC literally had to drop him from the organization. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know
He was before my time as a fan of the sport, but I heard his name from time to time. Clear to see why.
Awesome video! I miss Zabit!! Could’ve/maybe still is, Mt. Rushmore worthy!
Everybody gangster until Abraham Lincoln decides to throw hands again.
Man Yair vs Zabit would've been a banger
Really good edit, well done👍👍
The Greatest Misses Of All Times!
I hope he gets better and comes back.
FANTASTIC!
Their amature grappling is better than most ufc fighters
I always wondered what happen he was an awesome fighter!!!
anyone who makes a Zabit video deserves an instant lika and subscribe.
