Michael 'Venom' Page breaks down Ian Machado Garry's fight at UFC 310, Shavkat Rakhmonov's chances vs. Belal Muhammad.
Muhammad vs. Rakhmonov was the original main event booked for last weekend, but a toe infection would take welterweight champion Muhammad out of the picture altogether, leaving Ian Machado Garry to step in on short notice.
The #7-ranked Garry had come off a decision victory over one of the best strikers the welterweight division has ever seen in Page, outgrappling him before losing a closely-contested decision to Rakhmonov.Shavkat Rakhmonov Hands Ian Machado Garry First Loss in UFC 310 Co-Main EventThe #15-ranked Page wasn't overly impressed by Rakhmonov's performance, and while the Kazakhstani fighter was able to take three rounds against Garry he wasn't ever anywhere near to finishing the fight..
For a good portion of the fight, Rakhmonov was able to keep Garry at bay in the clinch, securing Rounds 1, 2, and 4 with his grappling, whether against the cage or for brief moments on the ground. Though, it was Garry who nearly finished the fight in Round 5 with a rear-naked choke attempt.
"A hundred percent now, this Shavkat here, if he had fought Belal, Belal was munching him, yamming him for breakfast," Page said.
