Rakhmonov, 29, is presently ranked No. 3 in the promo's rankings on the strength of a six-fight winning streak (he is likewise No. 3 in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings). He most just recently stopped two-time title opposition Stephen Thompson at UFC 296 to get more individuals discussing a prospective title shot.
With a remarkable knockout of one-time title opposition Burns, Maddalena might take the No. 4 area “Durinho” keeps in the marketing rankings (No. 5 on MMA Fighting's list). That would make him a prime prospect for a title remover with the Kazakhstani MMA fighter.
