Rakhmonov commented on the attack of Kazakh MMA fans on Covington

Previously, Rakhmonov announced his readiness to share the Octagon with the American in March.

“Our fans from Kazakhstan always express great support. They express it not only to me, but also to other fighters. What else can I add? I am grateful for this,” Rakhmonov said at a press conference.

Let us remind you that at the upcoming UFC 296 tournament, Rakhmonov will meet with Stephen Thompson. Covington will fight champion Leon Edwards in the main event of this event.
