Breakdown: Shavkat Rakhmonov impressed in Ian Garry fight despite questions

A detailed analysis of Shavkat Rakhmonov's fight with Ian Garry highlights several areas where Rakhmonov impressed, including improved performance at mid-range compared to his bout against Neal, domination in the clinch for the first four rounds, and becoming the only UFC fighter to take Garry down twice in the center of the octagon. The analyst notes Rakhmonov maintained high-level control throughout most of the fight except the fifth round. However, concerns were raised about Rakhmonov's low activity at long range, where he was significantly out-struck by Garry's kicks. The breakdown suggests Rakhmonov won the mid-range and close-range exchanges but lost badly at distance, with the final scorecard nearly even at approximately 40-40 in total points. The analyst still gives Rakhmonov the overall victory based on higher quality control and heavier strikes to the head.
