Rakhmonov named two likely next opponents

Undefeated Kazakh UFC welterweight Shavkat Rakhmonov suggested who he might share the octagon with in his next fight.

“Kamaru Usman or Belal Muhammad? The fight with Usman is more interesting for me. Belal, it seems to me, will not go to the fight. Usman doesn’t want to either, I think. I don’t choose anyone, but I want to quickly get a fight with the champion. It will always show who will fight with whom, it is still unclear. We are waiting and we must prepare further,” Rakhmonov said in an interview with the YouTube channel NAIZA TV.

Let us remind you that on December 16 at the tournament, Rakhmonov defeated Stephen Thompson by choke in the second round. The Kazakhstani has 18 wins and no defeats.
