Shavkat Rakhmonov has spoken out since the news dropped that he won't be fighting for the UFC welterweight title...yet. The #2 UFC welterweight contender proved where he stands in the division with victories over Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson,

Belal Muhammad was originally set to defend his welterweight title for the first time against Shavkat Rakhmonov in the main event of UFC 310 last December. However, just over a month before the fight, 'Remember the Name' was forced to withdraw due to a bone infection in his foot.

Muhammad was previously set to fight Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310 but pulled out due to a bone infection. Rakhmonov, who fought and beat Ian Machado Garry instead, reportedly couldn't fight Muhammad because of an injury. According to White, Rakhmonov will fight the winner of UFC 315's main event.
