Shavkat Rakhmonov sees himself as the clear No. 1 contender and next in line for a welterweight title opportunity.
With an 18-0 record and a 100% finish rate, it would be difficult to disagree. Since storming onto the UFC scene four years ago, ‘Nomad’ has laid waste to every man the promotion has put in front of him, including division mainstays Neil Magny, Geoff Neal, and Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson.
On the cusp of his first UFC title opportunity, Rakhmonov firmly believes there is nobody more deserving than himself.
