Ian Machado Garry And Joaquin Buckley Headline Tampa Fight Night

UFC closes out its 2024 schedule in style with two of the hottest fighters in the welterweight division hoping to set themselves up for a title shot in 2025 as the undefeated Ian Machado Garry faces dynamic knockout artist Joaquin Buckley on December 14.

Neither man has tasted defeat in the welterweight division. Machado Garry boasts a 15-0 professional record and has impressed in each of his eight Octagon appearances. “The Future” maintained a steady schedule since joining the roster in November 2021, scoring knockout wins over Jordan Williams, Song Kenan and Daniel Rodriguez along the way. The Irishman racked up decision wins against Neil Magny, Geoff Neal and Michael “Venom” Page in his last three fights, solidifying his place in the loaded welterweight top-10.
