5 potential opponents for Ian Garry after UFC 273 win

#2. Matt Brown

Matt Brown at UFC Fight Night: Brown v Lima

Matt Brown could fight anybody and fans would tune in to see it. He carries that much excitement with him and has a pull that only the most spectacular athletes in the UFC have. 'The Immortal' has garnered this following by way of a career that shows him always pushing the pace and being exciting.

While Garry isn't too far off from beginning this track, he'll need the right dance partners to get him where he wants to be. Brown would surely be willing to oblige in a fight like this as it's challenging and certain to have a lot of eyes on it.

More of the 'veteran taking on the newcomer' styled matchmaking, but why not answer multiple questions in one bout? Two birds with one stone as fans find out how gritty Brown still is and how ready 'The Future' is for the more difficult tasks that lie ahead.

#1. Bryan Barberena

UFC Fight Night: Barberena v Witt

Possibly the most underrated welterweight on the roster in Bryan 'Bam Bam' Barberena. Colby Covington, Vicente Luque, Leon Edwards -- these are just a few names included in the illustrious career of 'Bam Bam'. A tough outing for anyone he's fought, the 32-year-old continues to impress with his thrilling fights and just signed a new contract with the UFC.

If Garry is looking for a fight that could propel him up the ranks, be the fight of the night and truly test his skills, then Barberena is here to cover all bases. As skilled as Garry is in the striking department, 'Bam Bam' has taken on some of the most elite and heaviest-hitters in the division.

However, Garry has an air of invisibility on his side as he sports an undefeated record. Youth and momentum are also on Garry's side, as Barberena has lost 2 of his last 5. Lastly, they share a common opponent in Darian Weeks. Both 'The Future' and Barberena were able to defeat him via decision.
