Shavkat Rakhmonov can’t lose, or at least he hasn’t yet.
At UFC Fight Night 200, Rakhmonov (15-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) crushed opponent Carlston Harris (17-5 MMA, 2-1 UFC) and kept his unbeaten career record intact when he landed a spinning wheel kick and follow-up punches en route to another TKO finish at 4:10 of Round 1.
Harris, the only fighter in UFC history from Guyana, tried to tie Rakhmonov early. However, once the fighters separated Rakhmonov landed the finishing sequence necessary for another highlight – which you can watch below.
