Is this a classic battle of undefeated titans or an explosive showdown for the ages?
Ian Garry’s corner is about to get a whole lot more interesting. Charles Oliveira, former UFC lightweight champion and known for his relentless fighting style, will be joining Garry in the fight against Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310 in Las Vegas this Saturday. The Irishman announced the partnership after watching countless hours of Oliveira’s fights on YouTube, fascinated by his career trajectory. “I read a stat the other day: Charles Oliveira went to the fourth round for the first time in his career after his 46th UFC fight,” Garry said. “That’s insane! The guy is a machine! … I f*cking love and adore Charles Oliveira with all of my heart.”
Garry’s upcoming title eliminator against Rakhmonov presents a rare, almost mythical scenario: two undefeated fighters going head-to-head at the very top level. Garry’s 14-0 UFC record clashes directly with Rakhmonov’s undefeated run, and both men are eager to make their mark on history. Their combined win count of 33-0 is a testament to their dominance in the octagon. This fight promises to be one for the ages, as only one fighter will walk out victorious.
Garry said, “It’s a huge honor to have Charles in my corner. We’re both fighters and we know how hard this fight is. He’s going to give me all the insight he has on how to approach Rakhmonov.”
The undefeated streak of both fighters adds an unpredictable element to the matchup, raising the stakes significantly for Saturday’s event. While Rakhmonov’s dominant record boasts five wins via submission and one by knockout, there’s a new variable: Garry’s unique approach, guided by Oliveira’s mentorship.
Will Garry become the first fighter to conquer the undefeated Russian?
