Shavkat Rakhmonov concerns fans with rehabilitation video after 18-month layoff

Shavkat Rakhmonov alarmed his fans by posting a rehabilitation video showing him far from fighting condition. The Kazakh welterweight has not competed inside the octagon for more than 18 months, raising questions about his readiness to return. Meanwhile, the post notes that Steve Erceg and Beneil Dariush look like partners from an 80s detective movie. The post also mentions an exchange between Caio Borralho and Dricus Du Plessis, where Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge the middleweight champion, who responded by inviting him to spar at his gym. Insiders have reportedly indicated that a Du Plessis vs Kamaru Usman fight is being developed.
