UFC 285: Early preliminary card preview, stats and odds as Ian ... (Planet Sport)

Five bouts make up the UFC 285 early prelims, headlining the early show is Ian Garry as he looks to extend his perfect record to 11-0 as he faces Chinese ...

This fight is tough to predict, a classic wrestler vs striker battle, Eastern European wrestling vs exotic Latin striking. Penne had an incredibly unforgiving start to life in the UFC back in 2014. My prediction for this fight is Ian Garry to secure a knockout in the second round. However, Kenan has not fought for almost two years, with his last outing ending in a first round loss to Max Griffin. "El Gringo" is a finishing machine with all 11 of his career victories coming inside the distance and he is getting more efficient with each fight as four of his last five fights have not left the first round. But when opportunity knocks, he answered as Kamuela Kirk pulled out of this bout with an injury, giving him the opportunity to step in and make his UFC debut. Basharat is part of a rare group of fighters competing in the UFC alongside their sibling, to add extra competition at home both Farid and his brother Javid fight at bantamweight and are undefeated in their promising UFC careers. Saaiman's striking is his most valuable asset. Tajikistan's Radzhabov has had one of the more curious routes to the UFC, a finalist of the PFL $1million tournament, he was due to compete on the latest season of the Ultimate Fighter however he was axed from the series at the last minute reportedly so Conor McGregor could bring in his own teammates. Both men know where they want this fight to take place and a war of attrition could be on the cards as both men try and break down each other gameplan. Five of his seven career wins have come from the stopping power of his strikes and when he can't utilize it he tends to have a tougher night out. His UFC debut vs Steve Koslow was not as smooth as it may look as the grappling ace frustrated Saaiman with his submission skills, but a combination of taking the fight on short notice and an illegal strike swayed the fight for Saaiman.

Future Looks Bright: Ian Garry Overcomes Early Adversity at UFC ... (Cageside Press)

Rising Irish talent and heir apparent to Conor McGregor in MMA, Ian Garry returned at UFC 285 and tried to stay undefeated as a pro in his fourth UFC fight.

A flying knee pushed Kenan to the fence. At the halfway mark of the round Garry finally opened up, swarming the Chinese fighter with punches and kicks, attacking the body as well. The attritional work of Garry was excellent, but he was lacking the ability to pierce through the guard with one massive punch to get the hurt foe out of there, despite his best efforts with the occasional flying knee, head kick, or overhand. The calf kicks from Garry had already seemingly hurt the calf of Kenan by the halfway mark of the first round. Ian Garry slowly pushed Kenan back to the outside of the octagon. Garry fell to his back but jumped up as Kenan tried to get on top of him.

Dubliner Ian Garry claims impressive win at UFC 285 as Jon Jones ... (Independent.ie)

IAN GARRY declared himself a UFC champion-in-the-making after extending his unblemished record to 11-0 on a night when Hollywood came to Las Vegas.

He's a total freak of nature and he's the best ever." "I'm telling you now, I'm on my way to be a world champion," said Garry in the post-fight interview. That's the best way to explain it. Jones showed no signs of rust as he dominated the short duration of the fight. "He beated my chest and he told me I'm a champion, that he's with me. "I'm excited for the future. He bumped into Garry at the MGM and offered his compatriot some words of encouragement. "Stipe's talking about the fact that he's heavier than me right now. It backfired as the 32-year-old struck with a precision counter that forced Garry's legs to buckle. Nor were the strikes he threw himself. After a shaky first round, the Irishman grew into his welterweight contest against Song Kenan at UFC 285 in the T-Mobile Arena. The outcome would have been the same, but that doesn't mean Garry had it all his own way.

Some fool tried to get in Ian Garry's face after the Irish welterweight's big win at UFC 285. See how 'The Future' handled the incident.

The win was Garry’s fourth in a row, and his first finish since his UFC debut in November 2021. One bystander looks at the cameraman filming with a smile on his face, clearly hoping this guy f—ing around gets to find out. “When you sign a contract against me, I take it personally,” he wrote. It’s fortunate that he was in a good mood — that may have saved some random person from getting an ass whupping after the event. He survived some early adversity against Song Kenan, turned things around, battered Kenan badly, and then finished his opponent with a blitz late in the third round. Garry celebrated by suiting up into a tux for his post-fight interviews, and he couldn’t look happier.
