Dominick Cruz picks Ian Machado Garry to edge out Islam Makhachev at UFC 330

Former UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz has predicted Ian Machado Garry (17-1 MMA) to upset welterweight champion Islam Makhachev (28-1 MMA) in the UFC 330 main event, scheduled for Saturday at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Cruz, going against the oddsmakers who have Garry as a significant underdog, compared the potential upset to Justin Gaethje's lightweight title win over Ilia Topuria. Cruz believes Garry's key to victory lies in stopping Makhachev's takedowns and keeping the fight standing at a comfortable distance.
