The Story in Brief
Islam Makhachev has added roughly 5 kg of muscle since moving to welterweight for his UFC 330 title fight against Ian Machado Garry on August 15. His coach Javier Mendez told the Times of India that the Russian feels stronger and will not return to lightweight. Garry, meanwhile, credits his vegan diet with improving recovery and weight management. The Irish fighter told BBC Sport that removing animal products five years ago helped him accept short-notice fights and feel healthier. Both fighters believe their physical approach will be decisive in the welterweight championship bout.
The Indian Opinion
Both camps hype their preparation as decisive, but the louder narrative, that raw size always wins, ignores Garry's proven recovery advantage. Makhachev's extra 5 kg may help him control clinches, yet a drained fighter in the championship rounds can lose that edge. The real test: can Garry's vegan-fueled endurance keep him elusive past the third round?
