I'm honestly curious, what round did you give Pantoja? He held Van down the 2nd half of R4 but didn't do anything. A couple of the rounds were close but I scored all 5 rounds for Van. #UFC#UFC331
Sean Brady on Shavkat Rakhmonov:
“I don't think Shavkat is ever going to fight again. I think he's done because every time he tries to come back, his knee just keeps going out. He just can't make it through a camp.”
Meanwhile Shavkat in the gym:
Lately, I’ve seen everyone talking about Carlos Prates and Michael Morales as the biggest threats to Islam Makhachev.
But people are forgetting about Shavkat Rakhmonov. 👀
The undefeated welterweight who dominated the division could potentially be Islam’s biggest problem.
I understand he hasn’t fought since December 2024, and he’s been through some difficult moments in his personal life since then.
But that’s exactly why I expect him to come back stronger than ever.
Honestly, I think Islam will fight Prates and beat him. Then, when Shavkat returns next year, we could finally get an absolute BANGER. 🦅🔥
