Okay, here’s my take on whether Shara Magomedov is in UFC 5, written like a casual blog post based on my own “research” and experience.
So, I was wondering if Shara Magomedov is in UFC 5. I went down a rabbit hole trying to find out. Let me walk you through what I did.
First thing I did, I fired up my console. I have UFC 5. I went straight to the fighter roster. I scrolled through every single weight class. I’m talking heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, welterweight, lightweight, featherweight, bantamweight, women’s divisions… you name it. No Shara Magomedov. Strike one.
Then, I thought maybe he’s a hidden fighter, like a unlockable character. I started playing through career mode. I spent hours grinding, winning fights, unlocking stuff. Still no sign of him. That was annoying.
After that, I jumped online. I went to the EA Sports UFC 5 website. I looked for an official fighter list. I checked news articles, forum posts, everything. I was searching for anything mentioning his name and UFC 5 together. I even looked at patch notes to see if he was a DLC fighter released later. Nothing.
- Checked the in-game roster.
- Played career mode.
- Scoured the official website.
Next, I thought maybe there are “Create a Fighter” fanatics online who had created him. I hit up YouTube. I searched for “UFC 5 Shara Magomedov create a fighter”. Found a few videos. Some people had made decent attempts at recreating him, but that wasn’t the real deal. It wasn’t the official fighter in the game.
Finally, I visited some UFC community forums. I created a post asking specifically if anyone knew whether he was in the game or planned to be added as DLC. Most responses just said “No” or “Not yet.”
Conclusion: As of right now, no, Shara Magomedov isn’t officially in UFC 5. It’s a bummer, but hopefully they add him in a future update. I will be keeping an eye out!
I’ll keep an eye on updates to see if he gets added in the future as DLC. I would happily pay for that DLC.
