Rakhmonov rehabilitation video concerns fans amid extended layoff

Shavkat Rakhmonov posted a rehabilitation video that alarmed his fans, as he appeared to be far from fighting condition. The undefeated welterweight contender has not competed in the octagon for over a year and a half, 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 and suggested Borralho could post the footage. Borralho responded by telling Du Plessis to sign a contract and stop acting childish, while Du Plessis questioned why Borralho thinks he's being considered for a title shot. Multiple insiders also reported that a fight between Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is being developed.
