UFC Belgrade star Uros Medic has shared his prediction for the upcoming welterweight title fight between Islam Makhachev and Ian Machado Garry.

Makhachev and Garry will be squaring off at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the main event of UFC 330. The fight will mark the Russian’s first welterweight title defense, after he won the belt at UFC 322, beating Jack Della Maddalena.

Garry, on the other hand, will be hoping to draw inspiration from his two-fight winning streak, which includes wins over Belal Muhammad and Carlos Prates. This will also be the Irishman’s first-ever title fight in his 12th UFC bout.

And now, Medic, who will headline UFC Belgrade against Daniel Rodriguez, has picked the winner of the Makhachev vs. Garry fight. In an interview with Brian Campbell, Medic stated that he was ‘pretty confident’ Makhachev would ‘finish’ Garry.

I am pretty confident Islam Makhachev will finish Ian Garry.

Medic then put Garry on blast for his women-run-the-world take, before going on to add that Makhachev will finish the Irishman in less than three rounds. He added:

I think Islam Makhachev gets it done in less than three rounds.
