Belal Muhammad has dropped out of his championship fight with Shavkat Rakhmonov, which was scheduled to take place on December 7 at UFC 310 in Las Vegas.
Unexpected news has reached us from overseas. Foreign reporters Benny P and Al Zulino report that Belal Muhammad has withdrawn from the UFC 310 gala. This means that the Chicago fighter will not defend his title in a bout with Shavkat Rakhmonov.
According to initial reports, matchmakers of the UFC organization are looking for a replacement for the champion. Initially, we did not know what was the reason for Belal Muhammad’s withdrawal from the start. However, the fighter posted an online entry explaining the reason.
– I caught a bone infection in my foot. I am currently taking antibiotics through a drip. There is no question of any physical activity for the next six weeks. I apologize to everyone who has been waiting for my fight. I will be back soon.
Belal Muhammad won the championship title in late July when he defeated Leon Edwards after a unanimous judges’ decision. The fight with Rakhmonov at UFC 310 was to be his first defense of the championship belt.
Among the fighters to be considered as possible replacements would probably be Kamaru Usman, Jack Della Maddalena, Colby Covington and Ian Machado Garry. It is possible that, given Muhammad’s injury level, the UFC will decide to organize a fight for the interim belt. In that case, Leon Edwards could also jump into the game, as this would open up the option for a potential trilogy with Muhammad.
