‘Nomad’ was originally scheduled to fight for the title against the reigning welterweight champion Belal Muhammad. However, Muhammad had to pull out of the fight after suffering a bone infection in his foot. Garry then stepped in on short notice to replace Muhammad. This fight is likely to be a title eliminator.

Belal Muhammad gives his prediction for the Shavkat Rakhmonov vs. Ian Machado Garry fight

Shavkat Rakhmonov and Ian Machado Garry were once training partners who trained together before Garry left the gym. Both fighters have impressive MMA records: Rakhmonov is 18-0, and Garry is 15-0. However, all of Rakhmonov's wins have come by finish, making him one of the toughest challenges for Garry right now.

In his recent appearance on MMA Junkie at the 16th Annual World MMA Awards red carpet, Muhammad backed the Irish fighter to get the job done. He also asserted that people are overhyping the Kazakh fighter.

"I think Shavkat has more of that aura about him right. I think people overrate him. They put him on this big pedestal. I think a lot of people underrate Ian. They don't think he is really as good as his record shows …Honestly, I think it's gonna be Ian [who wins the fight]."
