In a recent interview with Sport24, Magomedsharipov revealed the UFC has tried several times to lure him back to the Octagon since retiring.
“Yes, they do from time to time since I left the sport,” Magomedsharipov said. “Three of four times they wanted to have a meeting with me, invited me to the United States, but I couldn’t go. I know that I can’t promise them anything, so why should I go and meet with them?
“Sometimes I do [think about coming back], but I don’t have the desire yet. I have the desire to train, and help my brothers, that’s it. They promised me a lot of things, but that’s not the point. I simply made up my mind, I don’t want to prove anything to anybody. Come back, go through training camps, I have no desire to return, and it’s not about money. I don’t think I will ever come back.”
Magomedsharipov left the cage with an 18-1 record, including a 13-fight winning streak. He defeated the likes of Jeremy Stephens and Sheymon Moraes during his promotional tenure.
