At the UFC 286 post-fight press conference, it was annoucnced that top ranked contender Belal Muhammad will face Shavkat Rakhmonov next. If Muhammad stops the undefeated finisher in his tracks, it would be hard to deny him a title fight next.

With his relentless pace, the well-rounded fighter is a very hard challenge for Edwards, and for anyone in the division to be honest.
