Mike Valle is excited for the challenge of helping Belal Muhammad hand Shavkat Rakhmonov his first loss. Welterweight champion Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) makes his first title defense against Rakhmonov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) in the UFC 310 headliner on Dec. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas ( ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN+). Valle knows what it’s like to coach underdogs to a world title, where he’s recently been in the corner for Muhammad’s title win over Leon Edwards at UFC 304, then Julianna Peña’s title win over Raquel Pennington at UFC 307
