Sayat Abdrakhmanov, manager of the top UFC welterweight Shavkat Rakhmonov told when “Nomad” could return to the Octagon.
“Now Shavkat is still recovering,” Abdrakhmanov said. The doctor gave him six to eight weeks of rest to make sure everything healed. Therefore, most likely, he will not be available for the April tournament. He plans to return in the summer. If Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad fight in April is confirmed, and then Leon decides to return in the summer, then Shawkat could fight either Leon or Belal, depending on who wins the belt. If we have to have another fight, then it should be an opponent with a name. Then Shavkat could fight in the summer to consolidate his contender status"
