Islam Makhachev will look to make the first defence of his welterweight title against Ian Machado Garry on Aug. 15 in Philadelphia, UFC announced on Wednesday.
A strawweight title bout between Mackenzie Dern and Gillian Robertson will serve as the co-main event.
@Zito31783581@vvoidlap58@espnmma Blaming the UFC for his layoff is hilarious. You don’t think they’d love to have a fighter as popular as Islam defending his titles asap?
@jajajajaj341@KonaMMA_ Geoff was very good yet still got his ass beat most of that fight and finished. You could make an argument that Geoff beat Garry
Trolling aside, I hope Ilia eyes are in good condition because if not, his coaches and the referee sabotaged Ilia's career.
He said at the end of round three he couldn't see and yet the corner let him fight.
The doctor said to cancel the fight yet the referee continued the fight.

Love Gaethje but I’d be floored if Ilia doesn’t demolish him. Hate to pick against Pereira again but think he’s gonna struggle a bit with all the extra weight. Gane has some grappling upside n can hang on the feet. Won’t be surprised if pereira slumps him tho
