UFC 310 is scheduled to go down Dec. 7 in Las Vegas. The event was supposed to mark the first title defense for Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC), who took the welterweight belt from Leon Edwards with an impressive win over Leon Edwards at UFC 304 in July.
This would’ve marked the first UFC championship fight for Rakhmonov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC), who’s undefeated and riding a five-fight winning streak in the UFC.
There hasn’t been an official word on whether Rakhmonov will remain on the card or if the bout will be rebooked for a later date.
