TRILOGIES do not come much better than Back to the Future - which is fitting for lan Machado Garry, who is determined to correct his own fighting timeline.
"The Future' suffered his first career loss in his 16th fight as fellow undefeated welterweight Shavkat Rakhmonov edged a five-round MMA showcase at UFC 310 in Las Vegas.
Victory secured the Kazakh star the next shot at Belal Muhammad's 170lb crown after the champion was forced to withdraw from the date in Sin City due to injury.
Dubliner Garry, who was set to fight this weekend in Miami, stepped in at late notice to fill the void against a fighter dubbed the division's 'bogeyman' due to his destructive run to title contention.
