Shavkat Rakhmonov rehab video raises fan concerns after 18-month layoff

Shavkat Rakhmonov posted a rehabilitation video that alarmed his fans, showing him far from fighting condition. The Kazakh welterweight has now been out of the cage for over 18 months without a fight. Meanwhile, Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge Dricus Du Plessis, who responded by inviting him to spar at his gym and offering to post the footage. Their social media exchange escalated, with Borralho calling Du Plessis childish and Du Plessis questioning why Borralho's name would even be in title discussions. Multiple insiders subsequently reported that a Du Plessis vs Kamaru Usman fight is being developed.
