Zabit didn’t reveal the name of his next opponent but we will take a guess that he will most likely fight Yair Rodriguez in August. At this point, it looks like UFC’s featherweight division will be playing out this way: there will be a rematch between the current champion Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway; Brian Ortega will face Korean Zombie; Zabit vs Yair Rodriguez.
Zabit Magomedsharipov is currently undefeated in the UFC (6-0 UFC record). In his last fight in November 2019, Zabit defeated Calvin Kattar via unanimous decision.
What do you think of the potential matchup between Zabit and Yair Rodriguez? How do you see their fight playing out?
