Shavkat Rakhmonov's opponent raised eyebrows – Boxing/MMA

Well-known insider in the field of mixed martial arts journalist Eurosport Netherlands and editor Tapology.com Marcel Dorff shared his opinion with Sports.kz about whether he expected the Irishman Ian Machado Garry (15-1) will provide such resistance to the Kazakh Shavkat Rakhmonov (19-0).

“I assumed that Shavkat would win and knew that Garry would be tough in this fight. But Ian performed better than I expected,” said the specialist.

Let us remind you that yesterday morning, Astana time, Rakhmonov fought with Garry in the co-main event of the UFC 310 tournament in Las Vegas (USA, Nevada) and won by unanimous decision (three times 48-47). For the first time in his career, “Nomad” was unable to defeat his opponent ahead of schedule.
