Prefight notes<\/p>\n
Makhachev is defending the 170-pound title for the first time. The 34-year-old Dagestani won the belt at UFC 322 last November in a lopsided victory over Jack Della Maddalena. That marked Makhachev’s first Octagon appearance at welterweight following a dominant lightweight title reign, during which he recorded four defenses.<\/p>\n
With a victory over Garry, Makhachev will set a new record for the longest winning streak in UFC history (17), surpassing Anderson Silva, who has held the record since 2010.<\/p>\n
Garry is looking to become Ireland’s first UFC champion since Conor McGregor. The No. 2-ranked welterweight earned the title shot with back-to-back wins over former champion Belal Muhammad and Carlos Prates. Garry, 28, is 10-1 in the promotion, with his lone loss coming against Shavkat Rakhmonov in 2024.<\/p>\n
