UFC Welterweight Shavkat Rakhmonov has called out Neil Magny. Currently undefeated with a professional MMA record of 15-0 to his name, Shavkat has already impressed people with his performance in the UFC and now, he is on the lookout for his next opponent.

He recently called out Neil Magny on Twitter and noted that Li Jingliang does not have the guts to take up the fight.

“Now I have a couple of fighters in my sights, one already refuses to fight me, and the other claims that he is ready to fight anyone @UfcJingliang get your balls together and fight me @NeilMagny you said you were ready to fight anyone,lets do it if Lee still doesn't have the guts to,” he tweeted.

Interestingly, Magny is now tied with Georges St Pierre in the UFC Welterweight division for the most number of wins and had picked up a win over Max Griffin this past weekend. Li, meanwhile, has been out of action since his loss to Khamzat Chimaev back in UFC 267.

Hailing from Kazakhstan, Shavkat made his UFC debut back in October 2020 at UFC 254 and had picked up a submission win in the first round. He then followed this up with a second-round submission win at UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. Volkov before producing a first-round KO victory at UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs. Strickland.
