The champion predicted Rakhmonov's fate in the UFC.

The reigning UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight between Shavkat Rakhmonov and Ian Garry, as reported by Vesti.kz.

The contender bout featuring two undefeated top welterweights will serve as the co-main event of UFC 310, scheduled for December 8 in Las Vegas.

"We have officially been cleared to start training again! Over the past six weeks, I've watched a lot of footage and studied both of these guys. And here’s my official unbiased verdict: I will break them both," Muhammad stated on social media.

Initially, it was planned that Muhammad would make his first title defense at this event; however, the champion withdrew from the fight due to an infection in his leg, and Garry stepped in to replace the American in the bout against Rakhmonov.
