Shavkat Rakhmonov Suffers Another Knee Injury, UFC Comeback Pushed Back to June 2027

Undefeated UFC welterweight Shavkat Rakhmonov has suffered another knee injury setback, pushing his potential return to the Octagon back to June 2027. The 19-0 Kazakh fighter had initially been expected to make his UFC comeback in January, but those plans are now reportedly in jeopardy following this latest complication in his recovery.

Rakhmonov had previously been linked to a potential fight against Michael Morales before the injury setback occurred. The delay significantly extends the time away for the top welterweight contender as he works through his ongoing rehabilitation process.
