At UFC 303, undefeated Irish welterweight sensation Ian Gary showcased his incredible skills in a thrilling fight against Michael Page.

Gary’s Ambitious Plans
Following that stunning success, Gary’s thoughts turned to future challenges. In his post-fight press conference, he expressed a strong desire to face another undefeated welterweight, Shavkat Rakhmonov. Gary’s ambition was clear when he said, “I’ll have a chat with Hunter and Dana afterwards to see what happens next. There are some big names and cool matchups. You know, Shawkat there, 18-0, undefeated. I’m loving my hands on it. I’m broken up with him and I have nothing but respect for the man, but I want to zero in on him first.”
Gary’s words underscore his confidence and readiness to be one of the best competitors in the welterweight division. He underlined his ability with a recent win over Michael Page, who is known for his speed and agility. “I just beat the fastest man in the welterweight division, so I can beat Shavkat Rakhmonov,” declared Gary.
