Shavkat
\nRakhmonov<\/a>\u2019s return fight could be a welterweight title
\neliminator.<\/p>\n

After being sidelined by recurring knee injuries since December
\n2024, Rakhmonov has teased a fight against an undefeated opponent
\nwith the same record. While he didn\u2019t reveal a name, he appears to
\nbe hinting at top-ranked
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> welterweight Michael
\nMorales<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shavkat Rakhmonov\u2019s clue points to undefeated UFC contender
\nMichael Morales<\/h2>\n

Rakhmonov hasn\u2019t fought since a win over Ian Garry<\/a>
\nnearly two years ago. \u201cNomad\u201d was seen in a protective boot as
\nrecently as this past summer but now appears to have a potential
\nopponent in mind.<\/p>\n

\u201c19-0 vs 19-0,\u201d Rakhmonov wrote in a TikTok caption.<\/p>\n

The only UFC welterweight with the same record as Rakhmonov is
\nMorales, who also recently hinted at a fight booking. Rakhmonov was
\non the cusp of fighting for a title before his injury setbacks and
\nwas subsequently removed from the official welterweight rankings
\nafter undergoing another knee surgery. Meanwhile, Morales has
\nracked up consecutive first-round knockouts against Neil Magny<\/a>,
\nGilbert
\nBurns<\/a> and Sean
\nBrady<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Carlos
\nPrates<\/a> the front-runner to challenge Islam
\nMakhachev<\/a> for the title next, Rakhmonov vs. Morales could
\nproduce the subsequent challenger.<\/p>\n
