Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight champ Belal Muhammad’s foot is a balloon.
on Thursday that a bone infection in his foot—one that made a toe dangerously swell up—has forced him out of action for the next six weeks. As a result of this, Muhammad will no longer be competing atopRakhmonov chimed in after learning the news, wishing Muhammad well and expressing his interest in rebooking the matchup at a later date. He still has his eye on the prize.. “We’ll meet when you’re back at 100%. For now, I’m ready to take on any contender for the interim title at UFC 310.
There is no indication whether the promotion is considering an interim title situation, given the timetable for Muhammad’s recovery is still not official. If he does compete, Rakhmonov will be looking to push his undefeated streak to 19, while attempting to maintain his flawless 100% finish rate. “Nomad” worked his way to a championship opportunity by racking up six wins under the UFC banner over growingly impressive opposition.
Muhammad intends on returning as soon as possible—he is not going to be allowed to train for six weeks minimum, and the remaining timetable depends on the severity of the infection—and when he does, he will be making the first defense of his welterweight throne. “Remember the Name” claimed it courtesy of a decision overUFC 310 will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Dec. 7, and the headliner is currently in flux.
