BAD MMA News — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 22:50:11 +0000

Michael Page expected more from Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310. Rakhmonov (19-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC ) scored a unanimous decision win over Ian Machado Garry (15-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) in this past Saturday’s five-round welterweight co-main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Rakhmonov wasn’t able to maintain his 100 percent finish rate against Machado Garry in a fight that mainly played out in the clinch. After watching Rakhmonov go five rounds for the first time in his career, Page is confident that UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad would’ve had his way with him if their initially scheduled fight for UFC 310 happened.
