Shavkat Rakhmonov is making what seems like positive progress toward his UFC return.
Undefeated welterweight contender Rakhmonov (19-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) was last seen in the octagon at UFC 310 in December 2024 when he handed Ian Machado Garry his lone career defeat. He entered the fight with a knee injury, and has struggled to get himself right to capitalize on the momentum of his place in the division.

After experiencing another setback and surgery in January, glimpses of Rakhmonov’s recovery have surfaced. Last month, it was rehab training to rebuild strength in the legs, and now it’s footage of him in the gym moving and hitting pads.
