Shavkat
Rakhmonov allegedly tapped out Ian Garry in
sparring.

Rakhmonov and Garry will co-headline UFC 310
on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The undefeated
welterweights have previously trained together at
Kill Cliff FC in Florida. While “Nomad” continues to train
there, Garry has since relocated to
Chute Boxe Diego Lima in Brazil.

Leading up to the fight, Garry released old sparring footage with
Rakhmonov where the Irishman seemed to be faring well. The Kazakh
has since accused Garry of releasing only those parts of the
footage where he looked good. Rakhmonov recently claimed to have
choked Garry during the same session.

According to Rakhmonov, Garry’s wife asked his permission to film
the sparring session but not to release it. Rakhmonov believes the
rest of it wasn’t released as “The Future” could be seen tapping
out.

“At the time his wife asked me if she can film the footage of his
sparring and I accepted it,’ Rakhmonov told Ariel Helwani. “But
they didn’t ask me if they can release it or not. And I wonder why
they didn’t release the other part of the sparring… [We would have
seen] how Ian Garry
taps.”

It’s not the first time Garry has been involved in a gym
controversy, as he was previously
banned from Leon
Edwards’ Team Renegade in Birmingham, England.
