Ian Garry posted on Insagram stating he's in camp, who do we think he's fighting next? Islam? Morales? Someone else?

Why? Conor has done a multitude of bad shit, he's the suspect of multiple crimes, including rape, and has been convicted for some of it.

What has Ian Garry done to make you hate him?

Hopefully it's Islam vs either Garry or Morales. You don't have to like Garry but by beating Belal he has done enough to secure a title shot.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Islam don’t wanna fight Garry

 

[Alpha_T83]

It should be Garry vs Islam but for some reason people still don't see Garry as the legit #1 contender. IDK why but people are somehow swayed by his very close decision loss to Shavkat.

I think we will see Garry vs Morales, and Islam will get his weakass title defense against Usman.

 

[VinceArch]

Hopefully Islam but it'll probably be for Morales or Prates.

I concur, payback for Shavkat

Ideal world is Islam vs Morales, Garry vs Usman, winner faces winner. But really Morales or Garry next is fine, so long as its not Usman.

Ian just released something about how Islam needs to defend against the #1 ranked guy, which according to Ian Garry is Ian Garry.

So I am guessing he thinks he is fighting for the belt next

As long as we don't get Islam vs Usman, I'm happy. Personally I think Garry is the rightful #1 contender, despite the fact that most people seem to hate him.

But your scenario isn't bad either.

Well he's next in line for Islam according to the rankings, Jack is #1 but he's obviously out of the title picture for now.

i imagine garry will talk a lot of shit in the lead up and constantly interrupt islam at the press conference. people will be watching for him to lose.

Garry has a fairly recent loss, he looked good in defeat vs Shavkat though. I do not rank a Prates win that highly personally, but Page, Prates, Belal is quite the resume. Garry has looked SUPER beatable in victory though, he scraped by Page, Neal and lost to Shavkat. Morales has looked like a killing machine, a fucking killing machine.

Give it to one or the other and then have Usman fight the other. If Usman wins, Islam will get his legacy fight, if they beat Usman they will propel themselves into being a "big deal contender". That said, the UFC most likely will do Usman vs Islam. Wouldn't surprise me if Islam retired after that too, I think his camp knows Morales is a very dangerous fight (I stand by this even if Islam humiliates Morales when/if they do fight).

It's at 4min in this video.

Calls himself #1 contender in the world. His words.

Either way, he seems to think he is fighting for the title otherwise it would be very odd timing to release that and start camp

 

[Captain Insano]

Hopefully vs Mackachev.

Mak is getting older.

Garry is huge.

Morales isn't well rounded enough to fight Mak.

Didn’t Islam say that all the interesting contenders need to fight each other while he gets ready for 1-3 Kamaru Usman?

Yep. I think Islam is basically going on strike to fight Usman.

So we will either see him fight Usman, or we will see Garry vs Morales, and then UFC forces Islam to fight the winner of that fight later this year.

Islam expressed an interest in fighting the biggest name that he thinks will get him the most money. Ultimately he doesn't care though, he will fight whichever top welterweight the UFC chooses to put in there. You guys make too big of a deal out of this, he'll fight whoever they want.

It's so ridiculous that the loser of a titleshot stays ranked #1.

It's one of the root causes of entitlement and rank squatting.

At least JDM probably accepts that he's at least a few very good wins away from another shot.
