Ian Machado Garry (17-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) will make a less than four-month turnaround from his failed bid to capture welterweight gold when he clashes with former Bellator titleholder Yaroslav Amosov (30-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) in the five-round co-main event of UFC Fight Night 295.
Yaroslav Amosov vs. Ian Machado Garry preview
Garry, 28, is set to compete for the first time since coming short of the 170-pound title UFC 330 in August when he lost a unanimous decision to champion Islam Makhachev. The loss came after back-to-back wins over Carlos Prates and Belal Muhammad.
Amosov, 33, has dazzled thus far in his UFC career, bowling over Neil Magny and Joel Alvarez since signing with the promotion in 2025. A Ukrainian military veteran, Amosov rose to notoriety during his 8-1 run for Bellator, during which he fought for his country against Russia and won welterweight gold. His lone loss was a November 2023 upset defeat to Jason Jackson.
