Shavkat Rakhmonov will be happy to get face to face with Belal Muhammad at UFC 310, should he emerge victorious from the co-main event.
Rakhmonov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) will face Ian Machado Garry (15-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) in a battle of unbeaten welterweight contenders scheduled for five rounds on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN2, Hulu, ESPN+).
UFC CEO Dana White has stated the winner will challenge champ Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC), who withdrew from the original headliner of the card against Rakhmonov.
