Belal Muhammad believes the bone an infection that booted him from UFC 310 subsequent month in Las Vegas shall be underneath management — and even perhaps a distant reminiscence — in roughly six weeks, eliminating the necessity for the promotion to create an interim title.
Opponent Shavkat Rakhmonov is just not so positive.
“I don’t imagine it’s going to be six weeks,” Rakhmonov advised Uncrowned. “I imagine Jack Della [Maddalena] had the identical drawback with an infection and he’s nonetheless not again. It might probably take awhile.”
Maddalena was hospitalized with an infection again in Could.
“I imagine there are worthy opponents obtainable,” Rakhmonov added. “I’m prepared to save lots of the cardboard too if it’s for the interim belt. I imagine Usman can be prepared to leap in to face me. Belal don’t must be grasping. If I change into interim champ, he’s nonetheless going to have a belt too. And it’s going to be champ vs champ, even greater battle.”
Let’s hope Rakhmonov has higher luck than Ian Garry did forward of UFC Tampa.
“Proper now, negotiations are occurring,” supervisor Sayat Abdrakhmanov added. “Clearly [UFC] is speaking. I don’t know if they’re speaking to another person, however I’m positive they supplied it to Kamaru [Usman], too.”
Usman has a historical past of taking short-notice fights towards undefeated phenoms.
Keep tuned.
