Shavkat Rakhmonov rehabilitation video concerns fans after 18-month layoff

Shavkat Rakhmonov posted a rehabilitation video that alarmed his fans, as he appears far from fighting condition in the footage. The Kazakh welterweight contender has not competed in the octagon for over 18 months, making this extended absence particularly concerning for his supporters. Meanwhile, Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to call out Dricus Du Plessis, prompting a back-and-forth exchange between the fighters. Du Plessis invited Borralho to spar at his gym and challenged him to post the footage, while Borralho responded by telling the champion to sign a contract. Multiple insiders have also reported that UFC is working on a potential bout between Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman.
