[fightfan70]

i pcked prates but i hope garry wins just because of how ballsy this move is.

hopefully its not a joke

The winner of this fight deserves to be ranked above Kamaru Usman, who has become an inactive duck and has lost his last 3 fights.

Garry get's KTFO if he doesn't get it to the ground

 

[CieloLuce]

What a banger of a fight if Ian Garry doesn't blanket him.

 

[HHJ]

Ya gotta give Ian Garry respect for fighting Shavkat and Prates back to back. He's the anti Colby at this point.

 

[HHJ]

Possible derailment fight for either

I dont think Ian is a hype train anymore, he fought a close one with Shavkat.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Respect to Garry, glad someone is moving the WW division. Sad he's ranked #7 below guys who barely fight. At least Prates should get a ranking boost.

Honestly Neal would've been a better fight, but this probably boosts Prates more so I like it.

Garry got a weird amount of shit for people acting like he doesn't fight backwards, but he has been extremely amenable to any good opponent any time.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Garry will probably win. rooting for prates

 

[RockyLockridge]

Ian willing to risk ranking for little reward is a ballsy move

I see the opposite of little reward. This will put him right back into title contention.

Prates KO … he’s far more dangerous then Garry

Garry won’t be able to
Hump him for 5 rounds like he did to mvp for 3

Legit. I'm torn on Garry. Like, his personality and fight style suck ass. His willingness to take fights that everyone else avoid like the plague make me respect the hell out of him as a fighter.

I've warmed up to him. He sperged the fuck out with Magny and didnt handle the negative publicity he found himself in very well, but he's kind of toned himself down since, and seems focused on the actual fighting aspect.

He didnt hump Shavkat for 5 rounds.

Not really, the next 2 title fights are basically cemented. If he wins this there's still going to be a lag for him. He may have to take this one and 2 more fights after just because the bad timing

Either Sean brady or shavkat WILL have to fight again. Just like belal did after he beat brady. Garry could probably get which ever one DOESN'T get the next title shot

Disagree. Skavkat won't...he's next if Belal wins; they want him out. So there's two title fights of which the second could happen late 2025 or earlier 2026. Gary is going to have to take a few and one against the 13th ranked fighter is a risk

Shav isn’t the dangerous striker that prates is …

 

[JakePaulMMA]

If this is legit, this is a damn good fight. I might actually stream this one...

 

[HP_Nut]

Surprised the poll is 2 to 1 for Prates. Not a fan of Garry but he’s far better than I thought & taking all the tough fights
