Fighters often withdraw from fights due to injuries, as seen with Belal Muhammad pulling out of the UFC 310 main event because of a foot injury. Despite this, his opponent, Shavkat Rakhmonov, remained on the card and delivered an outstanding performance. Additionally, Daniel Cormier recently revealed that Rakhmonov was injured before his fight against Ian Garry.
UFC 310 has just concluded, and fans still receive updates about the fighters. One of the latest revelations comes from Daniel Cormier, who had a cage-side seat and apparently some inside information on the co-main event. Cormier shared that he was informed that Rakhmonov fought with a serious knee injury.
He said, “I think he might have tore his MCL going into the fight. Granted, with a torn ligament in your knee you’re not going to look like the killer that you looked like in fights prior.”

He also mentioned that, if he were Belal Muhammad, he’d feel somewhat relieved watching the fight, as Shavkat Rakhmonov didn’t look like his usual self. Cormier later learned that Rakhmonov had been injured. However, the two fighters will face off against each other in the upcoming year.
