Missing out on a title charge against the undisputed, Belal Muhammad at UFC 310, unbeaten finishing ace, Shavkat Rakhmonov has opened as a rather impressive betting favorite over fellow undefeated Irish striker, Ian Garry in their five round title eliminator next month.
Rakhmonov, who currently holds the number three rank at the welterweight limit, most recently improved to 18-0 last year, maintaining his finishing rate of 100 per cent once again with a submission win over former title challenger, Stephen Thompson.
As for the unbeaten Portmarnock native, Garry, the number seven rated challenger improved his undefeated run to fifteen straight fights back in June during International Fight Week, defeating Michael Page in a unanimous decision effort.
