Rakhmonov concerns fans with rehabilitation footage, 18 months since last fight

Shavkat Rakhmonov alarmed his fans by posting rehabilitation video that showed him far from fighting condition. The Kazakh welterweight has not competed in over 18 months, raising questions about his return timeline. Meanwhile, Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge Dricus Du Plessis, leading to a social media exchange where Du Plessis invited him to spar at his gym. Borralho responded by telling Du Plessis to sign a contract, while Du Plessis questioned why Borralho would be in title negotiations. Insiders also reported development of a potential Du Plessis versus Kamaru Usman fight.
