Ian Garry admits Shavkat Rakhmonov choked him out ahead of UFC 310: ‘It’s training’

Ahead of his title eliminator at UFC 310 this weekend, Ian Garry has admitted that Shavkat Rakhmonov did in fact choke him unconscious during an infamous sparring session at Kill Cliff FC — with the Uzbekistan native seemingly taking bragging rights against the striker.

Garry, the current number seven ranked welterweight contender, will co-headline UFC 310 this weekend on the final pay-per-view card of the year, taking on a former training partner in a short-notice clash over the course of five rounds.
