Shavkat Rakhmonov and Ian Garry Prepare for UFC 310 Title Eliminator

The undefeated welterweights clash for a potential title shot after Belal Muhammad withdraws due to a bone infection.

Belal Muhammad was forced to withdraw from UFC 310's main event against Shavkat Rakhmonov due to a bone infection in his toe, requiring surgery and a six-week recovery period.
Ian Garry stepped in to replace Muhammad, setting up a co-main event matchup against Shavkat Rakhmonov, with the winner likely earning a title shot.
Rakhmonov has claimed to have submitted Garry during past sparring sessions, a point of contention that has fueled pre-fight tensions between the two fighters.
Both fighters enter the bout undefeated, with Rakhmonov holding an 18-0 record with all wins by stoppage, and Garry at 15-0 showcasing a striking-heavy style.
The fight carries significant implications for the welterweight division, with the winner expected to face Muhammad for the title in 2025.
