Top Kazakh UFC welterweight Shavkat Rakhmonov after defeating a division veteran Stephen Thompson stated that he is ready to fight for the championship belt.

Let us remember that on December 16 at the UFC 296 tournament in Las Vegas, Rakhmonov forced Thompson to surrender after a choke hold at the end of the second round.

“Time will tell, but I’m definitely ready for a title shot. I'm really happy about the win over Thompson. This was a very important fight for me, my team and my country. I did great preparation, but I had to be patient. I think I took the first round. I was in no hurry to finish it right away, but in the end I managed to do it,” Thompson said at a press conference.
