Islam Makhachev and Ian Garry have taken vastly different approaches to prepare for their UFC 330 welterweight title fight. Makhachev has significantly increased his muscle mass, adding around five kilograms to his frame since transitioning to the 170-pound division. In contrast, Garry credits his vegan diet for improving his recovery, health, and weight management.
Makhachev's coach, Javier Mendez, believes the Russian feels stronger and more comfortable at welterweight and has no intention of returning to lightweight. Garry, on the other hand, believes that his vegan diet, adopted five years ago, has transformed his preparation. Both fighters have tailored their training camps around these physical changes, which could play a crucial role when they face each other on August 15.
