Shavkat Rakhmonov is likely to face Belal Muhammad for the title in 2025. Recently, UFC lightweight Renato Moicano appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show and shared his thoughts on the potential matchup, backing Muhammad to secure the victory. Moicano said:

“My money is on Belal Muhammad… I think Shavkat is not the boogeyman like they said. I think Belal Muhammad will make it look easy… Who is the best fighter that [Garry and Rakhomonv] have faced? Probably Geoff Neal, they both fought Geoff Neal… [Rakhmonov] looked good because he finished all his fights. But Belal Muhammad is good at what he does.”
