Shavkat Rakhmonov just threw some serious shade at Belal Muhammad. Known for his finishing prowess, Rakhmonov isn’t one to mince words. The duo has been beefing for some time now. And he served up a zinger this time!
Rakhmonov took to social media with a not-so-subtle dig at Muhammad. He pointed out that Muhammad hasn’t knocked out anyone in the UFC except Sean Brady. But here’s where it gets cheeky: the wording of the image he retweeted was not very professional, to say the least. This is what it said:
“Never finished, No knockouts, No knockdowns, No girlfriend, No wife, No kids. Belal has never finished any man or woman except Sean Brady.”
By saying Muhammad hasn’t “finished” anyone except Brady, Rakhmonov left the door wide open for some eyebrow-raising implications. The MMA community sure has a field day with this one!
Back to facts, Rakhmonov‘s fighting style is fan-friendly and solid. He’s got a perfect 18-0 record with 100% finishes. Belal Muhammad, on the other hand, is known for his grinding style. He’s a decision machine, as he wears his opponents down over five rounds. It’s effective, sure, but not exactly highlight-reel material. And Rakhmonov is using his opponent’s non-fan-friendly style to his advantage on social media.
