Top UFC welterweight Joaquin Buckley believes that Ireland’s Ian Garry will out-maneuver Shavkat Rakhmonov when the two undefeated fighters meet at UFC 310 booked for December 7.

Joaquin Buckley Talks Ian Garry vs. Shavkat Rakhmonov

Nomad’ Shavkat Rakhmonov, of Kazakhstan, has a perfect unbeaten record at 18-0, but most impressively he has a 100% finish rate with all of his wins coming by way of KO/TKO or submission. Many fans have dubbed the 30-year-old fighter a future champion. At UFC 310, he is set to have the most important match of his career in a five-round title eliminator against Ian Garry.

The Irish-born Ian Machado Garry has a perfect 15-0 record in MMA and is a divisive figure in the fandom. In his most recent bouts, he won close decisions against Michael ‘Venom’ Page and Geoff Neal. He is primarily a striker with a quality pull counter but is able to gameplan and mix in wrestling and clinching to earn victories. This intelligence will be key according to ‘New Mansa‘ Joaquin Buckley.

Speaking to James Lynch, Joaquin Buckley explained his outlook on the fight. He said:

“A lot of people are not gonna believe me, but I think Ian Garry is gonna win. Wins by the skin of his teeth just like the rest of his wins that he had. Whether that’s with MVP or with Geoff Neal, he does a good job of staying safe and surviving. And if you don’t have the feet to kind of hunt down guys like that, where they’re constantly moving and constantly evading, and you set up traps, obviously, you’re not gonna be able to land those power shots

“If you get in the fire with Shavkat Rakhmonov, you’re gonna get burned, but I don’t see Ian Garry running into that burning house. So he’s gonna try to flee and evade the whole time, and I can see Ian Garry getting his hand raised by decision.”

‘New Mansa’ Joaquin Buckley will next be fighting in the UFC main event on December 14 against the motor-mouthed Colby Covington. The US-born Buckley will be looking to make it six in a row in the competitive welterweight division.

MMA Analyst Says Colby Covington Might Regret His Return Decision: ‘That’s A Different Buckley’

At UFC Tampa in the promotion’s final event of 2024, Colby Covington makes a somewhat unexpected return to face Joaquin Buckley in the main event on December 14. The former interim welterweight champion has been linked with a lot of different match-ups since his last fight against Leon Edwards in December of last year but […]

Covington will now be replacing Ian Machado Garry to take on the surging Buckley after Garry moved into the co-main event of UFC 310 to face Shavkat Rakhmonov. Though “New Mansa” is in the best form of his life right now, many see Buckley as a more winnable fight for Covington than some of the other names he has been linked with.

For as good as his winning streak at welterweight has been, he’s got some losses on his record and in some of those, he was outwrestled which is where the former three-time title challenger could get his hand raised.

Josh Thomson and “Big” John McCarthy raised this point during a recent episode of the Weighing In podcast where they said that “Chaos” may be underestimating Buckley for this very reason. McCarthy spoke about why Covington has decided to come back for this fight in particular.

“I look and I think Colby actually bit on this fight thinking ‘Alright, I’ve seen people out wrestle Buckley in the past and I can out wrestle him and take him down’. Now, that’s a different Buckley though too, Buckley’s a different fighter.”

McCarthy also made reference to Buckley’s 2018 loss in Bellator to Logan Storley, using this as a comparison to his next match-up.

“You can look at that and say well, Logan just outwrestled him and dropped him anytime he wanted and takedown stuff. Logan’s a better wrestler than Colby Covington ever was okay, sorry, and Buckley is way better now than he was back then.”

UFC welterweight ‘New Mansa’ Joaquin Buckley was highly unimpressed with Bo Nickal’s UFC 309 over Paul Craig in which he tested his striking rather than utilizing his world-class wrestling.

Joaquin Buckley Calls Bo Nickal’s Striking Trash

The US-born Bo Nickal was a stand-out collegiate wrestler having won the top position three times over in NCAA Division 1 wrestling. He trialed for the US Olympic wrestling team but lost to gold medalist David Taylor. Nickal then switched his focus to MMA.

In his most recent fight, Bo Nickal did not rely on his wrestling instead he kept the fight on the feet and earned a unanimous decision win over Paul Craig at UFC 309. However, many people commented stating that the performance was underwhelming.

Streaking welterweight Joaquin Buckley, of the USA, recently shared his thoughts on Nickal’s striking performance before he faces Colby Covington in the UFC Fight Night main event on December 14. ‘New Mansa’ spoke with James Lynch and explained:

“Yeah, that sh** trash. Yeah, that Bo Nickal, man—he should have gone to what he knows best, and that was the wrestling. But I’ll say, you know, Paul Craig has some good jiu-jitsu off his back. I guess Bo just didn’t want to test that and instead wanted to see what his striking was like.

“But [Bo Nickal]definitely got exposed on his feet. He definitely doesn’t know what he’s doing when it comes to that. I feel like if he learned or cleaned up his striking a little bit more, he could have gotten Paul Craig out of there. He could have knocked out Paul Craig.

“But, you know, it is what it is. He still has room to grow, and I feel like there’s a lot of things he needs to mature on before he tries to fight some of the best guys in the world. That’s just my opinion.”
