And in the octagon, Ian Machado Garry is not short on confidence heading into UFC three thirty. The welterweight contender says he'll bounce Islam Makhachev — and he used the words on his skull — when the two meet August fifteenth in Philadelphia for the title. Makhachev is twenty eight and one. Garry says none of that matters. Fight fans are going to want to see this one.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
