Israel Adesanya recently gave his take on the Shavkat Rakhmonov vs. Ian Machado Garry matchup at UFC 310. Adesanya was impressed with Garry's performance and commended the Irishman in a reaction video.
Garry replaced welterweight champion Belal Muhammad and faced Rakhmonov in the co-main event of UFC 310 this past weekend. While the surging Kazakh was the betting favorite, 'The Future' pushed him to the limit, winning two rounds on all three judges' scorecards and coming close to submitting 'Nomad' in the final round.
After a 25-minute tactical affair, Rakhmonov was declared the winner via unanimous decision. Adesanya recently shared his reaction to the final UFC pay-per-view of 2024 on his YouTube channel. Following the final bell of the co-headliner, the former middleweight champion was impressed with Garry, saying:
