Ian Garry recently secured his undefeated status with another win at UFC 303. However, he now wants to challenge himself and take on a fellow undefeated UFC contender. Earlier, Garry sat down at the post-fight press conference and called out Shavkat Rakhmonov for a potential showdown in the octagon. Meanwhile, the undefeated Kazakh had a fitting response for his fellow welterweight contender.

The Irishman said there were some “big names” and some “cool matchups.” One of them was Shavkat Rakhmonov. Garry was respectful of the undefeated Kazakh and recalled having trained with him.

Ian Garry and Shavkat Rakhmonov trained together at Kill Cliff FC. This was a while back. Their training partnership ended when Garry moved to Chute Boxe in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for further training. While Garry is focused on beating Rakhmonov’s record, he has already beaten another record of an even bigger UFC star.

Irish MMA statistician Andy Hickey recently sent out a tweet on X.

This record was previously held by ‘The Notorious’ who went 7-0 undefeated in the UFC before losing to Nate Diaz at UFC 196.

It is worth mentioning that McGregor had already secured the featherweight title by the time he was 7-0. Garry has taken a slower route, currently ranking #7 in the UFC’s welterweight division. It will be interesting to see how far the Irishman can carry out his undefeated legacy in the UFC.
