Fans are already speculating about the outcome of the highly anticipated clash between Ian Garry and Shavkat Rakhmonov, set to take place this weekend in the co-main event of UFC 310. The fight has generated so much hype that even UFC stars, including Israel Adesanya, are weighing in with their predictions. Adesanya has thrown his support behind Garry for this bout.
Fans have witnessed Israel Adesanya train with Ian Garry and express admiration for the Irishman’s grappling skills. However, the former middleweight champion acknowledged Shavkat Rakhmonov’s relentless style, describing him as a “mauler” who dominates opponents with takedowns and submissions. Despite Rakhmonov’s devastating submission abilities, Adesanya is still backing Garry. On his recent YouTube channel, he stated:
“He (Garry) is going to be able to touch Shavkat, but he’s got to be careful. I like this fight, but I’m going to go with Ian Garry. I think it’s going to go to a decision, but if Shavkat wins, I think he’s probably going to submit Ian. But I’m going to put my money on Ian.”
This welterweight showdown is incredibly thrilling as it serves as a title eliminator. A victory in this fight could secure a title shot against the reigning welterweight champion, Belal Muhammad. With both fighters remaining undefeated, seeing who suffers their first career loss will be fascinating.

Both Ian Garry and Shavkat Rakhmonov enter their UFC title eliminator fight with undefeated records. Garry boasts a 15-0 record, with his last victory coming at UFC 303, while Rakhmonov remains flawless at 18-0. Confident ahead of the clash, Garry has his sights set on the welterweight title. Speaking on his YouTube channel, the Irishman shared:
“Honestly, I was pushing for the Shavkat fight. I was pushing for it. Undefeated versus undefeated. We’ve trained together. We know how good we are. We both respect each other. He probably respects me a lot less than I respect him, which is okay, which is okay. That’s the way it should be at that point in our careers. But the truth is, I will take his 0, and I will take that belt.”
