Photos: See Belal Muhammad’s nasty foot injury that forced UFC 310 withdrawal

If you were questioning Belal Muhammad’s withdrawal from UFC 310, think again.

The UFC welterweight champion shared graphic photos of the foot infection that forced him out of his title defense against Shavkat Rakhmonov in the main event of the final UFC pay-per-view of the year. Below, you can see the infection in Muhammad’s left foot.

UFC 310 is scheduled to go down Dec. 7 in Las Vegas. The event was supposed to mark the first title defense for Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC), who took the welterweight belt from Leon Edwards with an impressive win over Leon Edwards at UFC 304 in July.

This would’ve marked the first UFC championship fight for Rakhmonov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC), who’s undefeated and riding a five-fight winning streak in the UFC.

There hasn’t been an official word on whether Rakhmonov will remain on the card or if the bout will be rebooked for a later date.
