Ian Machado Garry came up short in his bid to become UFC welterweight champion after losing by unanimous decision to Islam Makhachev at UFC 330 in Philadelphia.
The Irish contender caused problems for the champion throughout the five-round contest, but Makhachev's dominant wrestling proved decisive as he successfully defended his title and extended his winning streak in the UFC to a record 17 consecutive victories.
Garry showed resilience after being taken down repeatedly and rallied during the middle rounds, but was unable to do enough to overturn Makhachev's control as the Russian retained the championship on the judges' scorecards.
