Belal Muhammad explains why Ian Machado Garry will beat Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310

LAS VEGAS – Belal Muhammad will have his eyes peeled for the UFC 310 co-main event.

Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) was scheduled to defend his welterweight title against Shavkat Rakhmonov in Saturday’s main event, but was forced out due to a bone infection in his foot. Instead, Rakhmonov will take on Ian Machado Garry in a five-round bout (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN2, Hulu, ESPN+) at T-Mobile Arena.

Although Machado Garry (15-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) is a big underdog, Muhammad is picking him to upset Rakhmonov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC).
