At the weigh-ins, the 34-year-old Russian called Machado Garry his next goal and then told to his supporters that he was “ready to make all people happy” if he won. Since making his UFC debut in 2021, Machado Garry, 28, has won ten of his eleven fights; his only defeat came at the hands of Shavkat Rakhmonov. With an overall record of 17 victories and 1 loss, the Irishman hopes to become just the second person to defeat the legendary Makhachev pound for pound.
