"If anything he should fight Jorge Masvidal" - Fans give mixed reactions to Michael Bisping playing matchmaker for Leon Edwards vs. Ian Machado Garry

Michael Bisping's desire to see a contest between Leon Edwards and Ian Machado Garry has sparked reactions from MMA fans. While some shared their suggestions, others agreed with Bisping, picking Garry to beat Edwards.

An X user named @DovySimuMMA recently shared Bisping's response after a fan asked him about Edwards' future. The former UFC middleweight champion stated his wish to witness 'Rocky' against a striking opponent, suggesting a potential Edwards vs. Garry matchup, writing:

''I'd like to see him against a striker so he can have a fun fight. Ian Garry makes a lot of sense if you ask me.''

Fans soon rushed to the comments section to share their reactions.

One fan brought up the feud between Edwards and former BMF champion Jorge Masvidal, writing:

''If anything he should fight Jorge Masvidal. Jorge will strike, settle the beef there.''

Another one backed Garry, writing:

''Gatekeeper status, name on Garry’s resume, Leon will get finished again, he’s not mentally strong, and showed that, he just got dogwalked in his hometown, and I think he takes another L''

Other fans wrote:

''NO. COLBY VS GARRY''

''That's a 3rd straight loss for Leon. Take a break, look through the flaws in the game, and redesign a new training scheme. If it means going back to more basic stuff , do it get that hunger back. There are no killer in that eye.''

Edwards failed to get back in title contention as he was submitted in the fourth round by Sean Brady at UFC London this past weekend. Meanwhile, Garry took on Shavkat Rakhmonov in a title eliminator bout at UFC 310 last year, and suffered a unanimous decision defeat, losing his undefeated status in the process.
