Kamaru Usman has officially declared that he’s ready to return to the octagon at UFC 310 to face Shavkat Rakhmonov, despite the fact that the two have previously trained together in the same gym. Usman made it clear, however, that they are not teammates. “Forget the brotherhood — it’s gone,” Usman emphasized. If the UFC needs a replacement for Belal Muhammad, who recently had to withdraw due to a foot infection, Usman is more than willing to step in and deliver a fight that will shock the world.
Rakhmonov May Be Ready, But Usman Is Set to Dismantle Him in Spectacular Fashion
Even with three consecutive losses under his belt, including a devastating defeat to Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 294, Usman remains undeterred and brimming with confidence. “When the UFC needs a solution, they know who to call,” Usman said on his podcast. “If they call me, I’ll be there, and I’ll be ready to make Rakhmonov regret ever stepping in the cage with me.” Usman isn’t just looking for a fight; he’s aiming to dismantle the rising star from Kazakhstan, and his words are sure to send shockwaves through the MMA community.
Usman’s Mindset: Crushing Rakhmonov or Facing the Inevitable?
Despite Rakhmonov’s undefeated record and his rapid rise through the welterweight division, Usman has made it clear that he’s not afraid to face anyone, including the unbeaten prospect. “I don’t care about the losses,” Usman declared. “They were just tests. I’m going to crush anyone who stands in front of me — and that includes Rakhmonov.” This is a man who has fought some of the most dangerous opponents in the sport, and he’s showing no signs of backing down, even after setbacks against top fighters like Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev.
Usman’s “Kind” Message to Muhammad: Is There a Hidden Agenda?
Despite their strained relationship, Usman took a moment to wish Belal Muhammad a speedy recovery. But was this a genuine gesture, or part of a psychological game to get under Muhammad’s skin? With Usman’s track record of mind games and calculated moves, it’s possible that this message is more than just a well-wishing — it could be a strategic play to further fuel the drama leading up to his showdown with Rakhmonov.
With his unwavering confidence and intense determination to prove himself once again, Usman is poised to make UFC 310 an unforgettable event. The question remains: who will leave the octagon victorious, and who will be left in the dust? One thing is for sure — Usman’s next fight is bound to be a defining moment in his career.
