Belal Muhammad Defends Title Against Undefeated Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310

UFC 310: Belal Muhammad vs. Shavkat Rakhmonov

UFC 310 will feature an explosive welterweight title bout between reigning champion Belal Muhammad and undefeated Shavkat Rakhmonov on December 7 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. UFC CEO Dana White confirmed the highly anticipated matchup, which headlines the final UFC pay-per-view event 2024.

Belal Muhammad will make his first title defense after capturing the welterweight belt with a dominant performance against Leon Edwards in July. Muhammad’s journey to the top has been marked by perseverance, as he secured the championship after a 10-fight unbeaten streak, proving his status as one of the division’s elite.

His opponent, Shavkat Rakhmonov, enters the bout with an impressive undefeated record of 18-0. Known for his remarkable 100% finishing rate, Rakhmonov has only seen the third round twice in his career, making him one of the most dangerous fighters in the welterweight division. With knockout power and a relentless style, Rakhmonov is poised to challenge Muhammad for the welterweight crown, seeking to add another notable victory to his unblemished resume.

In addition to the welterweight showdown, UFC 310 will also see the return of MMA legend Nick Diaz, who is set to face Vicente Luque. The two welterweights were originally scheduled to fight in August, but the bout was postponed. Now, both fighters will meet in what promises to be an exciting co-main event.

UFC 310 promises to deliver high-stakes action as Muhammad looks to defend his title against a formidable and unbeaten contender, while Diaz’s return adds further excitement to the card.
