LAS VEGAS – Belal Muhammad was willing to do whatever it takes to make UFC 310.
Welterweight champion Muhammad was forced to withdraw from his title defense against Shavkat Rakhmonov due to a bone infection in his foot. Rakhmonov will now face Ian Machado Garry in a five-round co-main event Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.
After three weeks in the hospital and six weeks of antibiotics, Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) finally had his PICC line removed Monday.
