[autotag]Ian Garry[/autotag] will compete on another big pay-per-view event.

Garry (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) takes on [autotag]Song Kenan[/autotag] (18-6 MMA, 4-2 UFC) at UFC 285 on March 4 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. “The Future” wanted Bryan Barberena, who defeated his Kill Cliff FC teammate Robbie Lawler at UFC 276, but wound up drawing Kenan instead.

“Everyone knows I want Barberena – I’m not getting him…Yet. I’m taking out Kennan Song first. Here’s real life footage of my conversation with Sean Shelby… See you March 4th.”

Unbeaten in his professional MMA career, Garry is 3-0 in the octagon. After a debut knockout win over Jordan Williams, Garry scored back-to-back decision wins over Darrian Weeks at UFC 273 and Gabriel Green at UFC 276.

Kenan will return from a two-year long layoff. The 32-year-old Chinese fighter hasn’t competed since a knockout loss to Max Griffin in March 2021. Prior to that, he had won four of five bouts – three by knockout.

With the addition, the UFC 285 lineup now includes:

  • Jon Jones vs. Ciryl Gane – for vacant heavyweight title
  • Champ Valentina Shevchenko vs. Alexa Grasso – for women’s flyweight title
