Last week in the co-main event UFC 310 top welterweight contender Shavkat Rakhmonov (19-0) from Kazakhstan retained victory over the Irish Ian Garry (15-1), Sports.kz reports with reference to vRINGe.com.
It is expected that in the next fight he will try to take the championship belt from the American Belal Muhammad. Their confrontation was supposed to be the main event of UFC 310, but the champion was forced to withdraw from the fight due to health problems.
On the eve of the fight with Garry, Rakhmonov said that several fighters immediately refused to replace Muhammad. One of those named by Shavkat is multiple contender American Colby Covington (17-4), who will fight compatriot Joaquin Buckley tonight.
