Shavkat Rakhmonov

Shavkat 'The Nomad' Rakhmonov is one of the scariest contenders in the entire UFC - an undefeated Kazakh welterweight who has finished every single opponent of his professional career. The skill set is complete and lethal: elite, dangerous grappling and submissions woven together with sharp, powerful striking, so the finish can come anywhere the fight goes.

Wins over former title challenger Stephen Thompson and ranked contenders like Geoff Neal and Neil Magny have stamped him as the most dangerous riser in a stacked division and a fighter widely expected to claim the belt. He lets the violence do the talking - a true quiet killer. Fans are captivated by the perfect record, the 100% finish rate and the sense that they're watching a future champion in the making.
