Ian Machado Garry Faces Geoff Neal's Former Foe at UFC 330

Ian Machado Garry will face Islam Makhachev at UFC 330 in August.

What's at Stake?

Garry's only loss came against Shavkat Rakhmonov in 2024.

Geoff Neal, who lost to Garry via split decision at UFC 298, will fight Chidi Njokuani on the undercard.

Neal's loss to Garry was his first defeat on a scorecard.

Garry dominated Neil Magny in August 2023 to extend his perfect UFC record to 6-0.

Neal will face Njokuani, a 37-year-old veteran, at UFC 330.

Njokuani has 15 KOs in his 25 wins and will look to bounce back from consecutive losses.

Garry's title shot against Makhachev will be his toughest test yet.

Neal has lost two further fights since his loss to Garry, including brutal first-round knockouts against Carlos Prates and Uros Medic.

He will hope to redeem himself against Njokuani before Garry's title fight.

The event will take place at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.

Garry's performance against Makhachev will be closely watched, especially after his dominant win against Magny in 2023.
