Makhachev vows to chase Garry and grab the takedown at UFC 330
Islam Makhachev is gearing up for his UFC 330 title defense against Ian Machado Garry, relocating to New Jersey for final camp and planning to chase Garry’s movement, hunt for a takedown, and use old-school grappling to neutralize him. He notes Garry’s constant running as the key challenge and says he’ll adapt by pressing the fight. Oliveira is mentioned as a teammate navigating Garry’s camp, but Makhachev downplays any country-vs-country narrative, aiming for a 3-0 Irish run in this matchup. Training alongside Khabib Nurmagomedov and Javier Mendez at Nick Catone MMA, the camp is focused and ready for fight night.
