In the aftermath of Jack Della Maddalena's electrifying victory at UFC 299, where he secured a dramatic stoppage against Gilbert Burns, the welterweight division is buzzing with anticipation for a potential showdown with Shavkat Rakhmonov.
Responding to Maddalena's bold callout, Rakhmonov, known for his ice-cold demeanor inside the octagon, delivered a succinct yet ominous message via X:
“I respect your courage and confidence Jack, but you will face the same fate as my previous opponents.”
Currently ranked at No. 3 in the UFC welterweight division, Rakhmonov boasts an impressive six-fight winning streak, culminating in a notable victory over Stephen Thompson at UFC 296. His dominant performances have elevated his status as a legitimate contender for the title.

As speculation mounts regarding a potential matchup between Rakhmonov and Maddalena, fans eagerly await the clash of these two welterweight titans. While Rakhmonov exudes confidence in his abilities, Maddalena's relentless pursuit of top-tier competition promises an epic showdown inside the octagon.
