In the highly competitive UFC welterweight division, both Garry and Rakhmonov have emerged as formidable opponents. The Kazakh fighter, in particular, has finished every opponent he has faced in the promotion. Most recently, Rakhmonov defeated Stephen Thompson at UFC 296.

Joaquin Buckley deeply analyzed Ian Garry vs. Shavkat Rakhmonov
Ian Garry is an Irish MMA fighter who has progressed from a prospect to a contender in the welterweight division. Throughout his impressive UFC career, Garry has defeated several veterans and skilled fighters, including notable opponents like Geoff Neal and Neil Magny. However, his defensive fighting style has attracted criticism from several prominent figures within the UFC community.
Despite the criticisms of the Irishman’s fighting style, Joaquin Buckley holds a different perspective. Buckley believes that Garry’s defensive fighting approach could be highly effective against aggressive opponents like Shavkat Rakhmonov. As a result, the American fighter has predicted that Garry will emerge victorious in his matchup against the Kazakh fighter.
A lot of people are not gonna believe me, but I think Ian Garry is gonna win. Wins by the skin of his teeth just like the rest of his wins that he had… If you get in the fire with Shavkat Rakhmonov, you’re gonna get burned, but I don’t see Ian Garry running into that burning house. So, he’s gonna try to flee and evade the whole time, and I can see Ian Garry getting his hand raised by decision.

Interestingly, Buckley was originally scheduled to face Garry before the matchup changed. After Belal Muhammad withdrew from his fight, there was a significant reshuffling of matchups in the UFC welterweight division. Consequently, Garry is now set to face Rakhmonov. Meanwhile, Buckley has been scheduled to fight Colby Covington at UFC Tampa, one week later.
