It’s been a week since welterweight champion Belal Muhammad revealed news of a foot infection forced him out of UFC 310 , and there’s been a lot of talk about what will happen with his opponent, Shavkhat Rakhmonov , but still nothing has been set. One possibility being talked about is for Rakhmonov to meet former 170-pound champ Kamaru Usman for an interim belt at the Dec. 7 pay-per-view event from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. While Rakhmonov has lobbied for that matchup to take place, things are still up in the air. On Thursday’s episode of his “Pound 4 Pound” podcast with Henry Cejudo, Usman expressed a willingness to step in on short notice but wasn’t clear about being contacted by UFC matchmakers as he commented on the situation for the first time.
