Analyst reviews Shavkat Rakhmonov's performance against Ian Garry

A detailed analysis reviewed Shavkat Rakhmonov's fight against Ian Garry, highlighting several key aspects of the Kazakhstani fighter's performance. The analyst praised Rakhmonov's progress at mid-range compared to his bout with Geoff Neal, noting his ability to consistently land powerful single strikes including jabs, overhand rights, left hooks, and spinning backfists. Rakhmonov dominated the clinch in the first four rounds, successfully taking Garry's back, and became the only fighter in UFC history to take Garry down in the center of the octagon, accomplishing this twice. However, concerns were raised about Rakhmonov's low activity at long range, where he was significantly out-struck by Garry's leg kicks. The analyst concluded that while Garry won the long-range battle decisively, Rakhmonov controlled the more important mid-range and close-range exchanges, ultimately deserving the victory despite giving up too many points from distance.
