- IAN MACHADO GARRY

IAN MACHADO GARRY recalled the biggest fight in UFC history as he prepares to make more of his own.

Conor McGregor versus Khabib Nurmagomedov remains the highest-grossing MMA fight of all time, with the UFC 229 main event making more than $17m on the gate in Las Vegas and drawing 2.4m pay-per-view buys in 2018.

Fast forward to today and Nurmagomedov-trained Islam Makhachev is the new welterweight champion and fellow Dubliner and ‘Notorious’ protege Garry is set to be named his first challenger.
