Detailed breakdown praises Shavkat Rakhmonov's performance against Ian Garry

A detailed technical analysis of Shavkat Rakhmonov's fight with Ian Garry highlights several impressive aspects of the Kazakh fighter's performance. The analyst noted Rakhmonov's progress at mid-range compared to his bout with Neil, successfully landing clean power shots including jabs, overhand rights, and spinning backfists. Rakhmonov dominated the clinch in the first four rounds, repeatedly taking Garry's back, and became the only UFC fighter to successfully take Garry down in the center of the octagon, doing so twice. The analysis praised Rakhmonov's overall control of the fight except in round five, where he made his only major mistake by rushing a takedown and giving up position. While Garry dominated at long range with leg kicks, the analyst concluded Rakhmonov won the more critical mid-range and close-range battles, rating him a quarter to half-class above fighters like Moraes, Garry, and Belal Muhammad.
