Shavkat Rakhmonov has gained much fame in the MMA world through his fighting style. The undefeated fighter has a well-crafted wrestling and striking skill set that remains at the top of the welterweight division. His younger sister, Sora Rakhmonova, now excelled in her MMA bouts to earn a contract offer from the UFC.
Shavkat Rakhmonov has won multiple Asian and World Championships in the last decade. He established himself as one of the best welterweight division fighters in the world. He will face Kelvin Gastelum in the near future, which could lead him to a potential title shot. The fighter from Uzbekistan seems to have paved the way for his sister to succeed in the octagon.
Sora Rakhmonova won excitingly against Valeria Karygina in her last bout. The fighter displayed a similar fighting technique to her brother. This win has secured a spot in the Dana White Contender Series (DWCS). The UFC’s women’s flyweight division remains on the lookout for new talent, and Rakhmonova is the perfect fit. She will fight Ernesta Kareckaite in September this year. The fight will happen a few days after her brother’s fight against Gastelum as the co-main of the flyweight title rematch featuring Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko.
It seems like the two siblings have MMA excellency in their blood. The technique and their will to win are very prominent within the family. Sora Rakhmonova will prove to be a threat to the women’s flyweight division in the UFC if she can secure a UFC contract with her upcoming fight.
What is next for Sora Rakhmonova in the sport of MMA?
Ernesta Kareckaite is a fighter from Lithuania who has just secured the biggest win of her career. Kareckaite defeated a veteran named Laetitia Blot in her recent outing. Laetitia Blot fought in front of her home crowd in France, who booed Ernesta to the maximum. Nevertheless, Rakhmonova’s next opponent kept her calm and provided fans with an aura of enthusiasm in the five-round thriller.
Ernesta Kareckaite has the striking abilities of an elite MMA specialist. Her ability to compete against the equally good Sora Rakhmonova will be intriguing. The two fighters will be eager to prove their worth to earn a UFC contract at the upcoming edition of DWCS.
Sora Rakhmonova will look to end the hype behind Ernesta Kareckaite by making her brother proud through a resounding victory. On the other hand, Ernesta Kareckaite has proven her immense resilience and skill to beat any opponent. The fight should be pretty interesting later this year.
