Ian Garry vs. Kamaru Usman
Conversation between Ian Garry and Kamaru Usman
“(Makhachev) needs to fight one of the young, up-and-coming contenders, not a has-been who has no knees -dismissing Kamaru Usman as a worthy contender.”
“I don't think either guy this puts them up for a title shot. Not long ago, [Machado Garry] just lose to Shavkat Rakhmonov. That was not that long ago... If Belal is able to win that, so?.Now you want to challenge the man [Islam Makhachev] you didn't want to challenge you to fight for the title? Because you said that was my brother, I trained with him, I don't want him to challenge me for the title?... It's a tough one, but I might have to lean toward Garry. It's a tough one, even though Belal has the ability to completely win this fight, but I do lean toward Garry -via the Pound 4 Pound podcast, arguing that the winner of Muhammad vs. Garry shouldn't automatically get the next welterweight title shot”
“He's had one win since 2021... With all due respect, he can sit the f**k back at the end of the line, wait, fight another fight, get more relevant, and fight someone up the rankings - but there is no way on God's green Earth that he is fighting for a world title next. NOT WHEN I'M HERE - via The Ariel Helwani Show blasting the notion of Kamaru Usman being awarded the next welterweight title shot.”
“Before every fight, you say, 'I am going to k.o. them'. You just lie, you keep running in every fight. It's just boring. - via the Pound 4 Pound Podcast, criticizing Ian Garry's performance and fight approach at UFC Qatar.”
