In a recent development, Shavkat Rakhmonov, one of the top contenders in the UFC welterweight division, has warned Conor McGregor that a single win may not be enough to earn him a world title effort. McGregor, who made history as the first two-weight UFC champion, has been eyeing a serious comeback in the welterweight division after bulking up during his time away from the octagon.

Rakhmonov, who currently ranks third in the division, behind Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman, acknowledges McGregor's star power, but he remains steadfast in his belief that fairness should prevail. Speaking with MMAFighting, Rakhmonov expressed his disregard for McGregor's comeback aspirations, stating, "To be honest, I don't even think about when's Conor going to fight or when he's going to be ready... I don't even think about him winning this one fight in three years is gonna do something... I think UFC is the most fair organization, so I believe they're gonna do everything right."

Despite McGregor's potential fast track to a title shot due to his immense popularity, Rakhmonov remains unperturbed. He emphasizes that McGregor's prolonged absence from the octagon and his struggles to return to his previous form should not guarantee him an unfair advantage. Rakhmonov firmly believes in the integrity of the UFC and trusts that the organization will make the right decisions regarding title opportunities.

Meanwhile, McGregor has been actively working towards his UFC comeback and is eyeing a potential return at UFC 310 in December. Initially, his comeback seemed uncertain, but recently UFC president Dana White has shown a change in stance, indicating talks about a possible fight announcement.

As the anticipation for McGregor's return builds, Rakhmonov maintains his focus on his own journey to the welterweight title. He is aware that a victory against the newly-crowned champion, Belal Muhammad, could put him in a favorable position. However, he remains confident that regardless of the outcome, the UFC will make fair and just decisions.

It remains to be seen whether McGregor will indeed earn a fast track to a welterweight title shot as he aims to make a triumphant return to the octagon. As the welterweight division continues to heat up with contenders vying for a shot at the title, fans eagerly await updates regarding McGregor's potential comeback fight.

In the world of UFC, where fairness and competition are paramount, it seems that McGregor will face tough competition in his quest for a world title effort, with fighters like Rakhmonov determined to make their mark in the division. Only time will tell who will emerge victorious and secure a shot at the coveted welterweight title.
