Unbeaten welterweight finisher, Shavkat Rakhmonov has staked his claim for a title charge against the victor of next month’s rematch between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad at UFC 304 – claiming both Colby Covington nor Kamaru Usman have no interest in facing off with him next.
Rakhmonov, the current number three ranked welterweight contender, boasts a stunning 18-0 professional record, racking a staggering eighteen consecutive victories via stoppage to boot.
Sidelined since last December, Uzbekistan native, Rakhmonov most recently took out former two-time welterweight title challenger, Stephen Thompson with a blistering second round rear-naked choke on the main card of UFC 296.
