Ian Garry vs. Khamzat Chimaev
Conversation between Ian Garry and Khamzat Chimaev
“If you touch somebody, touch respectfully. Don't punch somebody on the behind, you know. He was punching, like tapping my back. If you want to show respect, respectfully touch somebody... He came there to make some hype, you know that guy. He is trying to be Conor [McGregor], but he'll never be Conor -via the post-fight press conference, explaining that Ian Machado Garry's gesture felt disrespectful and was an attempt to create hype”
“You're meant to be a champion of this sport, you're a child. You're taking away from your friend's win over here. How about you calm down, slow down, and have a bit of respect for your friend over here, rather than try to steal the headlines. Do you want the honest truth? It's little d**k energy. 'I need to show that I'm tough.' You're the champion of the world; no one needs to see you be tough -via the post-fight press conference, slamming Khamzat Chimaev's behavior as childish and a spotlight grab.”

“I’m pretty sure we’re both white, so I don’t know what the point of the white boy is. I definitely survive a minute [against Chimaev]. I have no plans going up to middleweight anytime soon, but if he wants to, then dude, I’m getting [him] - reacts to Chimaev's warning”
