Is Ian Machado Garry poised to take advantage of a potential Rakhmonov vulnerability?
Joaquin Buckley, a fighter known for his own explosive striking and electrifying personality, seems to think so. He believes Ian Machado Garry will prevail in the pivotal welterweight matchup against Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310 by “the skin of his teeth,” as he put it. Buckley’s reasoning hinges on Garry’s proven ability to “stay safe and survive.” In past fights, he’s adept at evading powerful attacks while setting traps for opponents.
“If you get in the fire with Shavkat Rakhmonov, you’re going to get burned,” Buckley warned. The question remains: can Garry effectively employ his counter-attacking strategy against a dominant grappler like Rakhmonov?
“I don’t see Ian Garry running into that burning house. He’s going to try to flee and evade the whole time,” said Buckley, who also sees Garry gaining a decision victory over Rakhmonov.
Buckley’s confident prediction highlights the intriguing narrative surrounding this welterweight clash. Rakhmonov’s relentless pressure and grappling prowess often lead to his victories. However, Garry’s agility and ability to counterattack could ultimately determine the outcome of this fight.
UFC 310 takes place on December 7th at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
