Rakhmonov does not know whether he will receive the title if he defeats Thompson

Shavkat Rakhmonov, the top UFC welterweight, answered the question of whether he would get a title shot if he defeated Stephen Thompson.

“Will I get a title fight if I win? I don't know. It all depends on what the UFC says. I believe that Belal Muhammad deserves a title chance. As far as I know, he is insuring the championship fight. But I’m ready,” said “Nomad.”

Let us remind you that the confrontation between Rakhmonov and Thompson will take place on December 16 as part of UFC 296.
