Shavkat Rakhmonov, the UFC welterweight contender, stated that he is only interested in the title fight.
“If everything goes well, I want to return at the end of the year. I want to fight whoever wins the match between Della Maddalena and Makhachev. If they say to wait— I will wait, but I will only go for the title. Other fights do not interest me,” said Rakhmonov.
