When Gilbert Burns discussed Shavkat Rakhmonov's contributions in his UFC 283 fight training camp

Gilbert Burns and Shavkat Rakhmonov have been training together at Kill Cliff FC since 2021. Notably, ahead of Burns' fight against Neil Magny at UFC 283 in January 2023, Rakhmonov played a significant role in helping him prepare for the battle.

During his appearance on the weigh-in show for UFC 283, 'Durinho' mentioned that tall fighters like Rakhmonov and Ian Garry helped him adequately prepare for his fight against Magny, who had a reach advantage over him. He said:
