Quick read
Undefeated welterweight contender Shavkat Rakhmonov has undergone a second knee surgery, sidelining him for at least nine months and removing him from the UFC rankings. His absence significantly reshapes the welterweight title picture, with Kamaru Usman, Ian Garry, and Michael Morales now positioned with clearer paths to a shot at champion Islam Makhachev. Rakhmonov's injury represents a major setback for one of the division's top contenders.
