Ian Garry reveals three-fight plan featuring Islam Makhachev
Ian Garry called for the winner of the welterweight title fight between champion Belal Muhammad and challenger Jack Della Maddalena, scheduled for the UFC 315 main event on May 10. 'The Future' is also the official backup fighter for the same.
During the UFC Kansas City post-fight presser, Garry had this to say about his three-fight plan to face Muhammad/Della Maddalena, lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, and Shavkat Rakhmonov.
"So I'm going to fight Belal next. I'm going to beat Belal. Belal has said it many times, I'm the toughest opponent in the division for him. Then when Belal doesn't have the belt, there's a certain pound-for-pound No.1 who wants to come up, and his name is Islam Makhachev."
Garry added:
"I beat him, I take that status, I win my first title defense, and then Shavkat gets the rematch. I'm going to go out there and I'm going to dismantle that man and prove that he never won that fight."
Garry's lone UFC loss was against Rakhmonov in December 2024. 'Nomad' was supposed to challenge 'Remember the Name' for the welterweight crown before suffering an injury, leading to Della Maddalena receiving the title opportunity.
