Ian Machado Garry kept his undefeated record in tact on the biggest stage of his career against Michael Page at UFC 303.
Garry (15-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) continued his rise up the welterweight contender ladder when he handed former Bellator title challenge Page (22-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) his first octagon loss by unanimous decision on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

I thought that was over. Didn’t defend the body triangle, but he survived

Incredible first round for Garry. Got MVP down. Had his back. Had the hooks in. Seemed to have sunk in the RNC but MVP survived. He appeared to be super close but we are on to round 2. 10-9 Garry.

Garry has to get MVP in motion. Static position on the cage significantly reduces success rate of takedown.
And he just sits to an outside reap.

MVP has the speed advantage on the feet and his strikes from unconventional angles are throwing off Garry #UFC303

If you’re MVP right now you’ve got to be telling yourself that if you can stay upright for the next five minutes this is your fight.
