Ian Machado Garry reveals potential new opponent for record-breaking UFC 303 event... 'Him and his coaches are deciding'

UFC welterweight, Ian Machado Garry has revealed that he has a potential new opponent for UFC 303 on June 29th.

bloodyelbow.com

“I can only fight down in the rankings, and this is where I’ve got to show that I will fight anyone.

“I’ve said yes (to a fight with MVP). I’ve said yes to that name, him and his coaches are deciding because he seems a bit heavy to make weight in seven weeks’ time, but I’ve said yes.” Garry revealed.

The 26-year-old went on to claim that he also said ‘yes’ to fights with Sean Brady, Nursulton Ruziboev, and Joaquin Buckley, with none of them materializing.

MVP makes sense & would be a huge boost to 303. A lot of us thought MVP would land on the UK ppv but he doesn't necessarily need to be if it already has Tom, Leon, Paddy, Arnold, & Mokaev.

MVP vs Garry would be fun to watch

 

[swarrrm]

I like Garry vs Buckley

 

[RemyR]

Oooh I like mvp vs ian

 

[Goatenstein]

If 7 weeks isn't enough time to make weight you're doing something wrong.

 

[benebox]

Great fight! Respect him for taking that fight, MVP can embarrass you badly if you're not careful.

 

[Dorkman]

I’m down for that fight.

 

[Paynebringer]

I like Garry vs Buckley

This is who Buckley should've called out after his St. Lou win, calling out Conor McGregor is a fantasy he doesn't care who you are. Or better yet call out Colby just so I can hear him babble and talk in tongues at all the reasons why he should not fight you.

 

[Milenkovic]

How heavy is MVP ? Jesus Christ, can't make the weight 7 weeks out.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Can't make weight in 7 weeks for a 6 week training camp?

 

[GiganticMeat]

Garry vs Brady or Buckley both sound fun. I think Buckley might get outclassed, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

 

[LiQuiD42]

MVP better not fuck this up.

 

[jx820]

For all the shit people give Ian Gary, I like his attitude and I think his willingness to call people out by name is a breath of fresh air in a sport full of guys saying "whoever the UFC thinks is next", "I only want to fight X", or worse calling someone out by name who they can't/won't fight.

MVP vs Garry would be fun to watch

no

both will stand on the outside and hope the other guy moves first or at the very least be very cautious

MVP needs to fight someone with balls to go forward and throw bombs

 

[ArtardFiesta]

lol at colby duck. they should strip his ranking

 

[RockyLockridge]

IMO VERY smart of the UFC to go that route, you could just give MVP a title shot after to either if they wanted. Leaves them with options in the title picture.


Colby is a total fool if he fumbles this matchup.

How heavy is MVP ? Jesus Christ, can't make the weight 7 weeks out.

MVP looked Massive against Holland.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

If 7 weeks isn't enough time to make weight you're doing something wrong.

That looks like a duck...

So I guess Colby is a no-go at the end.. with all the trashtalk. I wanted to see one of those 2 losing.

 

[Steve Fox]

Well, he has balls for taking on MVP.

 

[IneedSometop]

I’d be interested in Garry vs Brady or Garry vs Buckley. I want to see him against someone who’s going to pursue a takedown. He obviously is a good striker but we’ve seen next to nothing about his grappling when fighting someone at a high level

 

[Lycandroid]

So was there a reason given why the Colby fight isnt happening ?
