UFC Welterweight Champion Belal Muhammad has withdrawn from his title defense against Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310, scheduled for December 7th, due to a bone infection in his foot. Muhammad confirmed he required a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC line) in his arm for intravenous antibiotics over the next six weeks, during which he cannot engage in physical activity. He shared photos of his foot injury and apologized to fans, stating, 'Allah's plan is the best plan.' The UFC is actively seeking a replacement opponent for Rakhmonov and is working on a new main event for their final pay-per-view event of the year.
