Ian Machado Garry extended his unbeaten record when he defeated Michael 'Venom' Page in the opening bout of the UFC 303 main card.
The main card of UFC 303 kicked off with a tightly-contested welterweight bout that saw Ian Machado Garry hand Michael "Venom" Page his first UFC loss.
The bout between Machado Garry and Page was one of the few high-profile fights that didn't undergo any changes ahead of UFC 303, and the two men were tasked with kicking off the PPV main card after the latter half of the prelims produced several violent knockouts. Following a few early exchanges on the feet, Machado Garry hit a well-timed takedown that allowed him to take Page's back and hunt for a rear naked choke for a large portion of the opening round.
UFC 303 was supposed to see Machado Garry compete on the same card as his countryman Conor McGregor for the first time, and perhaps "The Future" will try to book his next outing for whatever event ends up featuring the rebooked fight between McGregor and Michael Chandler.Drew is an MMA writer that regularly watches regional events in addition to major promotions such as the UFC, PFL, Bellator, and ONE Championship.
