Following his second UFC victory, former NFL linebacker Anthony Wint has called for a fight against Sean Sharaf, who recently defeated Gable Steveson in 12 seconds.

Following his second career victory inside the Octagon, UFC prospect Anthony Wint has set his sights on a specific opponent for his next outing. Wint, a former New York Jets linebacker who has successfully transitioned to mixed martial arts, expressed a desire to face Sean Sharaf in his next bout.

Sharaf garnered significant attention following his recent performance, during which he secured a 12-second knockout victory over Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson. Wint appears interested in utilizing the momentum from his own recent win to test himself against a fighter coming off such a high-profile result. By calling for a matchup with a standout finisher like Sharaf, Wint is aiming to elevate his profile within the UFC ranks.

While the promotion has yet to announce any formal booking for either athlete, Wint’s public callout positions him as a motivated contender looking to climb the ladder in his division. Whether the UFC will match the two fighters remains to be seen as both look to capitalize on their recent successes.
