Shara Magomedov vs. Neiman Gracie Added to RAF Moscow Grappling Card
Real American Freestyle officially announced on August 24, 2026, that UFC middleweight Shara “Bullet” Magomedov will face former Bellator title challenger Neiman Gracie in a grappling contest at RAF Moscow on September 5. The matchup joins a crossover-heavy card headlined by Khamzat Chimaev vs. Tyron Woodley. [84]
Why it matters: The bout pairs a high-profile UFC fighter with one of the most accomplished submission specialists in the Gracie family, giving RAF’s wrestling-focused event significant crossover appeal. Gracie’s most recent reported grappling appearance was a submission win over Benson Henderson at ADXC 1 in 2023. [84]
Editor’s Notes
The RAF announcement is corroborated by Sherdog and MMA Junkie reporting published or updated on August 24–25, 2026. No additional UFC BJJ, ADCC, IBJJF, ONE Championship submission grappling, WNO, or major professional grappling developments from approximately the last 24 to 36 hours met the verification and significance threshold; older UFC BJJ 10 and ADCC stories were excluded.
