UFC superstar Conor McGregor shared Ian Machado Garry’s potential path to victory at UFC 330 after Garry’s recent work at SBG Ireland.
UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev will face rising contender Ian Machado Garry in the UFC 330 main event this Saturday in Philadelphia. Makhachev returns to the Octagon to fight Garry after becoming the UFC’s latest two-division champ.
Makhachev enters UFC 330 as the best pound-for-pound fighter in Mixed Martial Arts, a title that Garry is looking to earn this weekend in an all-time upset. Garry’s well-rounded skill set and size make him an intriguing underdog pick this weekend.
Conor McGregor is keeping a keen eye on the latest chapter of the Ireland vs. Dagestan rivalry featuring his former rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s understudy. Ahead of UFC 330, Garry has done the bulk of his camp at SBG Ireland, McGregor’s longtime stomping grounds.
After getting inside knowledge of Garry’s condition and camp, ‘Mystic Mac’ shared a specific prediction for how he believes Garry will pull off the upset.

In a recent post on his Instagram, McGregor shared how he expects Garry to get the job done at UFC 330.
“For the Makhachev/Garry fight…let’s go Garry! You know it. He has the tools, been doing great work at SBG, putting in some solid rounds, and I’ve heard about the rounds and the structure,” McGregor said of Garry.
“Ian’s definitely going to stay safe, be in there. Makhachev has pockets where there’s a lot of stalling, and he still has things to prove in that welterweight division. Gotta grow into it a bit more. It’s a cracking contest, and of course I’m going with Ian Garry. I really believe Ian could do it, for sure.
“How do I see it? Right high kick, across the crown of the head,” McGregor continued. “Late round. This goes late, folks. And a victory for the Irish-Brazilian, let’s go Ian, rooting for you, bro.”
