Shavkat Rakhmonov was given the UFC title ahead of schedule – Boxing/MMA

Famous commentator MMA David Kuchashvili shared his opinion with Sports.kz about the fight of Kazakhstani Shavkat Rakhmonov (19-0) vs. Irish Iana Machado Garry (15-1).

“Both are great guys, they fought to the last.” They showed that they are equal fighters. The Irishman is three years younger and still has time to develop. I think these guys will meet again more than once. But only when Shavkat becomes a champion. I think that the Kazakhstani will pass Belal Muhammad much easier. “Garry will be the number 1 contender at this moment,” the specialist said.

The welterweight bout was not a title fight, but was scheduled for five rounds. The result was the victory of the Kazakhstani by unanimous decision of the judges.
