Shavkat Rakhmonov Calls His Fight Against Islam Makhachev “Very Competitive”

Rakhmonov says his all-terrain style creates real danger for new welterweight champ. “Islam will try to grapple, but I’ll be ready…I am a bad matchup for Islam. I can fight anywhere,” he said, adding he’s the division’s “most serious challenger.” #3 Rakhmonov (19-0) now eyes the title after recovering from the injuries that scrapped his shot against Belal Muhammad at UFC 310.
