A detailed breakdown of Shavkat Rakhmonov's performance against Ian Garry reveals his strengths and weaknesses in the fight. Rakhmonov impressed with improved middle-range striking compared to his bout with Neil, landing strong jabs, overhand rights, left hooks, and spinning backfists. He dominated the clinch in the first four rounds and became the only UFC fighter to successfully take down Garry in the center of the octagon, accomplishing this twice. However, Rakhmonov showed limited activity at long range, throwing very few leg kicks across the fight, which allowed Garry to score heavily with low kicks and oblique kicks from distance. The analyst scored the fight roughly even in total points (40-40) but gave Rakhmonov the edge due to his control of the more important middle and close ranges, despite Garry's dominance at long range.
