🚨 SHAVKAT RAKHMONOV — THE FINAL BOSS. 🇰🇿 If Islam Makhachev remains on top of the welterweight division and gets through both Carlos Prates and Michael Morales, there could be one final undefeated fighter waiting for him… 🇰🇿 SHAVKAT RAKHMONOV vs. ISLAM MAKHACHEV 🇷🇺 Shavkat stands at a perfect 19-0 with 18 finishes, with major victories over Ian Machado Garry, Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson, Geoff Neal and Neil Magny. “Nomad” has looked like a nightmare matchup for almost everyone he’s faced. But Islam Makhachev is a completely different creature.☠️ 🚨 THE LATEST ON SHAVKAT Following knee surgery, recent training footage has shown Rakhmonov back on the mats and working toward his comeback. His team has indicated that his recovery is progressing well, with a potential return targeted for 2027. 👀 And that’s where things could get VERY interesting… Imagine this timeline: 🥊 Islam vs. Prates — December 2026/ January 2027 ☪️ Ramadan & recovery/training- January- July 2027 🔥 Islam vs. Morales — International Fight Week 2027 🐺 Islam vs. Shavkat — MSG, November 2027 That would give Shavkat plenty of time to fully recover, make his return and fight his way back into title contention for what could become one of the biggest fights in UFC history. And imagine if MSG became Makhachev’s final chapter — defeating an undefeated Shavkat, laying down his gloves and walking away as the greatest mixed martial artist God has ever produced. 🥶🐐 . . . . . . . #ufcmsg #ufc #mma #islammakhachev #shavkatrakhmonov
