Detailed breakdown shows Shavkat Rakhmonov's dominance over Ian Garry

A comprehensive analysis of Shavkat Rakhmonov's fight with Ian Garry reveals Rakhmonov's progress and control across multiple aspects. Rakhmonov impressed with improved mid-range striking, landing powerful single shots including jabs, overhand rights, left hooks, and spinning backfists. He dominated the clinch for four rounds, controlled Garry in deep underhooks, and became the only UFC fighter to take Garry down in the center of the cage, doing so twice. The analyst scored the long-range exchanges heavily in Garry's favor (19.5 to 1.75 points) due to kicks, but gave Rakhmonov the mid-range (15.75 to 10.25) and close-range (18.5 to 11.7). Overall points were roughly even at 40-40, but Rakhmonov's control and head strikes earned him the victory. The main concern identified was Rakhmonov's minimal activity at long range, landing almost no kicks.
