Shavkat Rakhmonov responds after Ian Garry offers grudge fight at UFC 310: ‘It won’t even be close’
Subject of a call out from fellow unbeaten welterweight contender, Ian Garry overnight for a massive showdown at UFC 310 at the end of the year, surging finishing ace, Shavkat Rakhmonov claims a fight between himself and the Dubliner wouldn’t even “be close” if they actually share the Octagon.
Rakhmonov, who cracked the welterweight top-3 last December in another stoppage victory – to keep his finishing rate at 100%, made lightwork of former multi-time title challenger, Stephen Thompson with a second round rear-naked choke win at UFC 296.
As for Garry, the Portmarnock striker improved to 15-0 at UFC 303 at the end of last month during International Fight Week, beating Michael ‘Venom’ Page with a decision win over the London Shootfighters staple.
And linked with a return to the Octagon for his first appearance of this annum – before the end of the year, Rakhmonov was the subject of a call out from Garry, who shared the mats with the Uzbekistan native at Kill Cliff FC.
“December 2024 undefeated vs. undefeated let’s make this happen! @shavkatrakhmonov94,” Ian Garry posted.

And in response to Garry’s call out, unbeaten finishing star, Rakhmonov claimed if they actually fought each other, it would be far from a close contest.
“100% finish rate vs. 53% finish rate,” Shavkat Rakhmonov posted on his official X account. “It won’t even be close if it happens @iangarrymma”
In the midst of a dominant roughshod run through the 170lbs division since his move to the UFC, former M-1 Global champion, Rakhmonov boldly claimed that Garry’s prior recollection of training sessions amongst themselves was not exactly accurate to say the least.
