Shavkat Rakhmonov concerns fans with rehab video showing poor conditioning

Shavkat Rakhmonov alarmed his fans with a rehabilitation video in which he appears far from fighting shape. The Kazakhstani welterweight has not competed in the cage for more than a year and a half. Meanwhile, Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge Dricus Du Plessis, leading to a heated social media exchange where Du Plessis invited him to spar at his gym. The champion told Borralho to stop acting like a child and questioned why Borralho thinks his name is even being discussed in contract negotiations. Against the backdrop of this exchange, multiple insiders reported that a fight between Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is being developed. The post also notes that Quillan Salkilld and Beneil Dariush look like detective movie partners from the 1980s.
