Shavkat Rakhmonov, UFC welterweight contender, will miss most of 2026 due to knee surgery, delaying his title shot.
Shavkat Rakhmonov, the undefeated UFC welterweight contender with a 19-0 record, is expected to miss most or all of 2026 after undergoing surgery for a re-injured knee, according to his manager.
The 31-year-old fighter, who last fought in December 2024, was seen using crutches and wearing a knee brace at a Kazakhstan event in early 2026, confirming ongoing recovery.
His return is projected to take nine to ten months, delaying a title shot against Belal Muhammad, whose own injuries had already postponed the bout.
The setback impacts the welterweight division’s dynamics, creating opportunities for other fighters to rise in rankings.
