Belal Muhammad likely out of UFC 310 due to bone infection in foot

Welterweight champion Belal Muhammad is likely out of the UFC 310 main event against Shavkat Rakhmonov due to a bone infection in his foot, which the fighter posted about on X on Thursday.

Muhammad added he cannot do any physical activity for six weeks, which would put his participation in the Dec. 7 in Las Vegas in serious doubt, although no official word has come from UFC.

Muhammad, 36, became the organization’s 170-pound champion in July when he defeated Leon Edwards by unanimous decision at UFC 304 in England. UFC 310 was going to be his first shot at a title defence.

Muhammad holds a 24-3-0 (1 NC) record in the UFC and is on an 11-fight unbeaten streak.

Rakhmonov is 18-0 in mixed martial arts with 18 finishes. The 30-year-old Kazakh is 6-0 in the UFC coming off a submission win over Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson 10 months ago.
