The Hit List: Undefeated Fighters in the UFC

Brian KnappJan 05, 2024

The Ultimate Fighting Championship appears more than willing to throw its promotional muscle behind fast-rising welterweight contender Ian Garry.

One of 35 undefeated mixed martial artists on the roster with at least one victory inside the promotion, Garry will put his perfect 13-0 record on the line when he confronts Geoff Neal in a featured UFC 298 attraction on Feb. 17 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The 26-year-old Kill Cliff Fight Club export has delivered eight of his 13 career wins by knockout, technical knockout or submission. Garry last appeared at UFC 292, where he took a three-round unanimous decision from Elevation Fight Team’s Neil Magny on Aug. 19.
