Kazakh football player Nurali Alip expressed confidence that soon his compatriot, MMA fighter Shavkat Rakhmonov will fight for the UFC welterweight title.
“You don’t know Shavkat, or what? Soon for the championship title. Do I know him personally? Yes, we communicated via video call when we played in the national team. He wished us good luck. Have you been to his fights? No, not yet. Where? They fight in America. “He’ll soon fight for the title,” said the footballer.
In his last fight, which took place in December last year, Rakhmonov won by choke against former UFC welterweight champion Stephen Thompson.
