Shavkat Rakhmonov posts rehabilitation video, has not fought in 18 months

Shavkat Rakhmonov alarmed fans by posting a rehabilitation video showing him in condition far from fight-ready. The Kazakh welterweight has now been out of action for more than a year and a half, raising concerns about his timeline for return. Meanwhile, Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge Dricus Du Plessis, leading to an exchange where Du Plessis invited him to spar at his gym and Borralho responded by telling him to sign a contract. Insiders have reported that a Du Plessis vs Kamaru Usman bout is being developed, though no official confirmation has been made. The post also noted that Beneil Dariush and Quillan Salkilld looked like partners from an 80s detective movie at their face-off.
