Shavkat Rakhmonov

The small diaspora of Kazakh fighters in the UFC is gradually expanding, and since 2020, the league's welterweight division has been replenished with another name that does not know defeat - Shavkat Rakhmonov. This guy has finished every fight and it looks like he doesn't know what the word "settle down" means.


Now, “Nomad” has the opportunity to get into the TOP-10 of the division, but first he will have to overcome the skilled veteran - Neil Magny, who has more than 30 professional performances behind him. Their bout will be the co-main event of UFC on ESPN 38 (Vegas 57) on June 26. At the moment, this is the most important fight in Rakhmonov's career and victory in it will be decisive for his further path to the UFC.

Kazakhstan is famous for its athletes, who managed to prove that their boxing can be safely equated with the best fighting schools with a worldwide reputation. Gradually, athletes from this country master mixed martial arts, and Shavkat Rakhmonov became one of the few who managed to break into the big leagues, and also the only one who did it without a single defeat in his career.


At the anniversary UFC Fight Night 200, he will face a tough contender - Carlston Harris, who is on an impressive winning streak and threatens his opponents with serious knockout power. For "Nomad" this is a real chance to get closer to the coveted top of the division, and whether he will be able to do it - let's figure it out in our forecast.
