Long layoffs can absolutely kill a fighter’s momentum in the UFC. Fans forget about a fighter when they are not actively competing. Rankings shift as other contenders rack up wins and move ahead. Title shots slip away while you’re sitting on the sidelines. Shavkat Rakhmonov knows this reality all too well right now. <\/p>

The undefeated Kazakhstani welterweight hasn’t fought in almost a year. His last appearance came against Ian Machado Garry, where he delivered a decisive victory. That win positioned him right at the doorstep of a title shot. But the extended inactivity has pushed that golden opportunity further away. The division kept moving forward without him. Fans have been wondering when ‘Nomad’ would finally make his return. And now, there is some news of his comeback.<\/p>

Shavkat Rakhmonov Targets Early 2026 Return <\/h2>

Rakhmonov’s manager recently provided an encouraging update about his fighter’s status in an interview with Ushatayka. The undefeated contender has returned to full training and is building back his fighting shape. <\/p>

“He is already back to full training. Most likely he’ll be in fighting shape by late January or early February.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
