Irish fighter Ian Garry (15-0) told why he agreed to fight with the Kazakh fighter Shavkat Rakhmonov (18-0), Sports.kz reports.
– The UFC called us and asked: “Will you fight Shavkat on December 7?” I said yes. We were in Phuket, Thailand, preparing for the stocky southpaw, Joaquin Buckley, but now I'm going to change all plans and fight a week earlier – December 7th, in Las Vegas, where I already wanted to fight. Now everyone will say: “This guy is ready to fight anyone!” – says Harry.
Let us remember that initially Shavkat Rakhmonov was supposed to fight for the UFC welterweight title with American Belal Muhammad (24-3), but he withdrew due to health problems.
