The Kazakh and the Irishman will meet at UFC 310, which takes place on December 7 in Las Vegas, USA.
"Not many people will understand me for sure, but I believe that Harry will be the winner. He'll win on the slim, as he likes to do. Against Michael Page and Jeff Neill he did one thing well - he kept his distance and survived. If you don't have outstanding footwork to catch a runner like that who is constantly evading your attacks, you won't be able to hit him well.
If you try to get into a scorcher of a swap with Rakhmonov, you're going to burn out quickly. But it seems to me that Ian Harry will not go into a burning house. He will run away at the first sign of danger. So I would bet on Harry winning by judge's decision," Buckley is quoted as saying by Lowkick MMA.
