Belal Muhammad arrived at Shavkat Rakhmonov's gym: what happened next?

UFC champion Belal Muhammad came to train at the Kill Cliff gym, where Shavkat Rakhmonov usually prepares for his fights. The situation is made more interesting by the fact that Belal and Shavkat will face each other in their next bout, as reported by Caravan.kz.

The appearance of Belal in Shavkat's gym caused quite a stir among fans from Kazakhstan. However, Kazakhstan's Kill Cliff FC coach Said Saparov was quick to reassure the fans.

“No need to panic. He just came to our gym on his day off to train with his friend, our teammate Jared Gordon. The good news for Kazakh fans is that this time he promised to avoid injuries, and the fight is scheduled for May,” Saparov wrote on Instagram.

It’s worth noting that Shavkat and Belal were previously set to fight in December 2024, but the match was canceled due to Muhammad's illness.
