The monstrous deal immediately prompted questions about fighter pay, which the UFC CEO promised would go up as a result of the $1.1 billion-per-year cash influx. <\/p>\n
Shara Magomedov<\/a>\u2018s immediate reaction was to wonder about his money-making potential away from MMA.<\/p>\n Shara Magomedov got his first taste of acting when he shot scenes for a movie earlier this year. <\/p>\n \u2018Bullet\u2019 traveled to Los Angeles<\/a> to portray an assassin for a short film that is yet to be released. <\/p>\n It\u2019s currently unclear what the movie is called, but it\u2019s obvious the UFC middleweight enjoyed his experience on set as he\u2019s hoping Dana White and Paramount can help him launch an acting career. <\/p>\n \u201cI think as soon as Paramount and the UFC work together on a movie, I might be the first on their casting list,\u201d Magomedov told Red Corner MMA<\/p>\n \u201cI know there are many interesting characters who have took part in movies. Like, Michael Bisping, Randy Couture. I know a lot of UFC fighters who already did, but I am going to be their main pirate. So, let\u2019s f\u2014ing go. <\/p>\n \u201cThanks to Dana White and the whole of the UFC, I believe we are on the edge of global warming [laughs].<\/p>\n \u201cAs far as I know, Paramount is a big company, and they do amazing movies. I think this collaboration may lead to some very interesting movies, with us taking part there. Common fighters may become superheroes. <\/p>\n \u201cI played a role in a Hollywood movie as a superhero who transformed from a human into an iguana.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I think there will be lots of movies. It\u2019s up to the screenwriters and all those who make movies. <\/p>\n \u201cI think Dana White will take part in it himself and do something. He may be an investor if he likes any particular plot based on a book or a saga. I think he will make things happen in this respect, too. He\u2019s got lots of ideas and projects on his mind. So we can make it far together.\u201d<\/p>\n Shara Magomedov says he\u2019d love to dive deeper into acting following the news of a deal between the UFC and media giant Paramount.<\/p>\n \u201cI think as soon as Paramount and the UFC work together on a movie, I might be the first on their casting list,\u201d he told Red Corner MMA.<\/p>\n ‘Bullet’\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/mgpv9zyzge<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Red Corner MMA (@RedCorner_MMA) August 14, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n Shara Magomedov injury update<\/p>\n Shara Magomedov suffered a gruesome broken nose<\/a> during his latest fight in July.<\/p>\n The 31-year-old underwent a successful surgery<\/a> just hours after outpointing Marc-Andre Barriault. <\/p>\n On Wednesday, Magomedov provided an update<\/a> on the brutal injury he suffered at UFC Abu Dhabi<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since this fight happened, and I only started breathing through my nose and blowing it yesterday,\u201d he admitted. <\/p>\n \u201cI couldn\u2019t breathe or blow my nose for two weeks. I could only breathe through my mouth since he hit me, up until yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n It appears that the Russian fan favorite still has a way to go before he is fit and ready for his next UFC fight. <\/p>\n In the meantime, Magomedov can begin plotting his dramatic career move into the world of film.<\/p>\n ![\"Shara](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2227152958-1024x683.jpg\")
