Fight Preview
At UFC 296, Shavkat Rakhmonov and Stephen Thompson will square off in an exciting fight that could catapult him to the top of his division if successful, yet is taking on an experienced veteran with experience to counter his unique style.
Stephen Thompson stands alone as an unparalleled welterweight fighter in today’s division. Boasting unique skills that allow him to beat some of the top strikers in boxing and having twice previously competed for title fights; winning over Rakhmonov would give him another opportunity at competing for it again, though “Wonderboy” knows that facing such an unpredictable opponent with devastating knockout power should not be taken lightly.
So he must put on an impressive show to make this fight one of the most entertaining bouts. In order to do that, he needs to push hard on both feet while seeking ways to close gaps between them in order to draw combos from Rakhmonov.
Getting inside Rakhmonov’s guard will give him an immense advantage on the ground; his superior grappling allows him to lock opponents up quickly and force submission.
Recently, he’s demonstrated this ability in two fights, such as his victory against Geoff Neal in which he scored a rear naked choke in the third round – showing that he can compete against real strikers while still providing entertainment value to viewers of all levels.
Shavkat Rakhmonov enters this fight boasting an undefeated 17-0 record, all victories coming via knockout or submission. Although strong standing up with 4.45 significant strikes per minute and 59% accuracy on strikes landed per minute; his true power lies within his ground game where he poses a significant threat of taking down any opponent quickly before unleashing multiple submissions at will.
He’s an absolute powerhouse in his division, standing 6’1″ with an incredible 77-inch reach. A dynamic fighter who only continues to improve, he poses a formidable challenge for veteran opponents like Stephen Thompson.
