Ian Machado Garry is slated to meet Yaroslav Amosov in a welterweight bout at UFC 335 on December 12 in Las Vegas, with a formal announcement expected to come at UFC 333, alongside other events scheduled through the end of the year.
Amosov, 33, arrives with a 30-1 record and sits at number 11 in the welterweight rankings. The Ukrainian orthodox fighter stands six feet tall with a 75-inch reach, and his numbers lean heavily on grappling. He averages 4.64 takedowns per 15 minutes and 4.6 submission attempts per 15 minutes, while landing 2.78 significant strikes per minute at 47 percent accuracy.
His recent form backs that up. Amosov submitted Joel Alvarez in the second round at UFC 328 on May 9, 2026, his most recent recorded fight. Before that, he finished Neil Magny by first-round submission on December 13, 2025. That makes two straight submission wins in the UFC's records.
Garry's career data was not part of the information supplied for this story, so the matchup's full numerical picture will have to wait. What is clear is the nature of the challenge on the other side: Amosov's takedown and submission rates sit at the extreme end of the welterweight division.
Why it matters
- Amosov, ranked 11th, gets a featured spot on a UFC 335 card as he builds on back-to-back submission finishes.
- His 4.64 takedowns per 15 minutes sets up a clear grappler-versus-striker storyline, depending on how Garry approaches the fight.
- The bout would be one of several expected to be announced at UFC 333 as the promotion fills out its calendar through December.
The booking has not yet been formally announced, with the expected unveiling tied to UFC 333. Until then, the date, venue and card position remain as reported.
