Shavkat Rakhmonov revealed why he won’t be the first fighter to challenge Belal Muhammad for the UFC welterweight world title.
On Wednesday, Dana White dropped a series of big-fight bombshells on social media, including the reveal that Muhammad would be putting his 170-pound title on the line for the very first time on Saturday, May 10 when the promotion heads back to the Bell Centre in Montreal for UFC 315.
There, ‘Remember The Name’ will square off with the No. 4 ranked contender, Jack Della Maddalena.
The news came as a bit of a shock to fight fans as everyone expected Shavkat Rakhmonov to be first up for Muhammad.
