Unbeaten in the promotion, surging welterweight teases stepping in at UFC 310 to fight Shavkat Rakhmonov
One of the rising UFC welterweight contenders recently hinted at replacing Belal Muhammad to face Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310. The Australian welterweight uploaded an Instagram story to give a clue about his wish.
Muhammad recently publicized that he had been diagnosed with a bone infection which would cause him to pull out of his UFC 310 main event against Rakhmonov. Since the announcement, the MMA community has presented several options for the UFC 310 main event.
A recent action from Alex Pereira made fans hopeful about witnessing him at the UFC 310 main event. But the surging UFC middleweight, Jack Della Maddalena, who is yet to taste his first UFC defeat, recently hinted that he was ready to take on Rakhmonov at UFC 310.
Maddalena's last fight saw him earn a TKO victory against Gilbert Burns, thereby improving his UFC record to 7-0 (17-2 overall). He shared a snap as his Instagram story, which showcased him during one of his octagon interviews with Joe Rogan.
The words that accompanied the image provided a clear hint about his wish to fill in Muhammad's spot to face Rakhmonov at UFC 310.
"Only one man can save the day."

Shavkat Rakhmonov is ready to accept a fight against any of the welterweights for UFC 310
Shavkat Rakhmonov's record speaks volumes about his commendable in-cage skills. The Kazakhstan native currently holds an 18-0 record with none of the fights going the distance. His recent post on X about UFC 310 showcased that he also packs a fearless attitude.
'Nomad' addressed Muhammad's injury in the initial line of his post wishing him a speedy recovery. He also stated that they would share the octagon someday when Muhammad would be at his "100%." However, he ended it by declaring his willingness to take on anyone at UFC 310.
"Wishing Belal a quick recovery. We'll meet when you're back at 100%. For now, I'm ready to take on any contender for the interim title at #UFC310."
