Highly touted middleweight Shara Magomedov will stay on the lineup for the UFC’s return to Saudi Arabia. Magomedov (12-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) was set to fight Ihor Potieria at the June 22 event, UFC on ABC 6, in Riyadh, but Potieria was pulled to fight Michel Pereira at UFC 301, instead. Now Shara “Bullet” will take on promotional newcomer Joilton Lutterbach (38-10 MMA, 0-0 UFC), the UFC announced Monday. Magomedov made his UFC debut this past October in Abu Dhabi and outworked Bruno Silva for a unanimous decision at UFC 294. It was just the second time in his career the Dagestani went to a decision.
