According to Shavkat Rakhmonov, he’s already gotten the best of Ian Machado Garry.
Rakhmonov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) takes on former teammate Machado Garry (15-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) in a five-round welterweight bout on Saturday in the UFC 310 co-main event (pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN+) from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
In 2023, Machado Garry posted footage of him sparring Rakhmonov at Kill Cliff FC. Rakhmonov said the pair sparred about three or four times during the Irishman’s time there and revealed that the footage does not paint the entire picture of what happened.
