Comments

1. Selim: that's a pretty candid answer from Rakhmonov, wonder if he'd be open to fighting in another division
2. Echo Pulse: seriously though can't he just get surgery and come back at some point? this is like watching your favorite album leak early
3. Sharmaamir: Khabib's integrity means nothing if he wouldn't actually step in
4. Nora: rakhmonov's too soft if he couldn't take a beating from garry
5. Obsidian Specter: tough break for Rakhmonov, but he's right - those top-tier guys wouldn't have taken the risk
6. Dusk Specter: suddenly we're getting introspective from athletes who actually get hurt
7. Ethandiazxo: it sounds like Rakhmonov's not just questioning his own readiness to fight here, but also Garry's
