Javier Mendez, mentor of UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, knew that Shavkat Rakhmonov was going to fight with Stephen Thompson injured.

“The fact is that Shavkat was injured before this fight. Yes, yes, I know that he had an injury, and therefore he could not kick much. This is what made him change his tactics and fight more. He couldn’t kick...,” the specialist said.

Let us remind you that Rakhmonov defeated Thompson by choke in the second round.
