Uzbek welterweight contender Shavkat Rakhmonov will face another setback in his return to the octagon, according to reports from SB Nation. The undefeated fighter, who last competed at UFC 310 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on December 7, 2024, has seen his anticipated comeback pushed back once more.
Rakhmonov, known for his perfect professional record and finishing ability, has been sidelined since his last appearance. The specific reason for the latest delay has not been disclosed, but it marks another frustrating chapter for the 170-pound contender who has been climbing the UFC rankings.
The 30-year-old from Uzbekistan has built a reputation as one of the division's most dangerous prospects, with all of his UFC victories coming by way of finish. His absence from the active roster leaves a notable gap in the welterweight title picture.
