The MVP fight literally did nothing for Ian Garry

[blaseblase]

I pointed out before the fight that the matchup did nothing for Ian Garry and have since been proven correct. He did not move up in the rankings. He is not any more popular now. It was a pointless fight that did nothing for him.

Meanwhile Colby ducked Ian Garry and suffered no repercussions. He's still rank squatting at number 4 and looking for an easy fight.

Casuals are opening their eyes, on him. He's not champ material.

Well Garry didn’t really look all that great, even in a winning effort, and we all know that in the UFC winning isn’t as important as looking impressive…

 

[nonoob]

Zero killer instinct will be his downfall - no one will fear him at all after that fight.

Colby's last win was over two years ago...why does he get to rank at number 4?

There should be some reward for fighting and beating the dangerous lower ranked fighter because the other fighters are ducking.

They offered him the fight because he underperformed vs Neal, if he didn’t take it he could’ve been sitting out for a while since everyone above him was booked or about to be.

Sometimes it’s better to fight and stay relevant/get paid then sit out and wait for something better; unless the UFC is going to do you McG/Suga/Paddy favors you might as well take fights and get better.

MvP was a risky fight because if he lost it would derail him, but it was a matchup where he had a huge grappling edge and at least MvP has name value.

Of course fighting like he did doesn’t win fans, but I don’t think he’ll ever have many fans regardless.

 

[Bork Neslar]

He beat a dangerous guy, but yeah, he should have fought a higher ranked opponent.

 

[fortheo]

It gave him experience fighting a lanky striker, and gave him experience implementing grappling in a fight, something he rarely does. Both are valuable.

His stock went down imo from this fight.

One bad outing..dude was never good nor popular never change sherdog

Ian Garry's performance did nothing for himself. MVP was always going to be a tricky fight, but if he had have been able to sub him quickly, it'd at least made him seem dangerous.

Cobly can go fuck himself. He should be removed from the rankings.

Garry got outstruck and panicwrestled but he at least took a difficult matchup. He should be up there for a top 5 matchup and a TS next.

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

He’s only 25 and still getting better

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

The fight was lackluster that many forgot about by the Pereira / Jiri fight... MVP is a good name on the resume but not a contender fight. Keep winning and eventually he'll get near the top.

 

[AldoStillGoat]

I disagree it added a name under his belt and a lot of people talked about him in the lead up to this fight and after.

Colby shouldn't even be ranked at all tbh sir.

maybe he should have won the fight decievely and people would give a fuck, MVP is a name fighter. It's always an opportunity when you get that name guy. Just like who ever gets usman next.

To be fair both Colby and Usman are rank squatting. However, as bad as the fight was, it would be hard to get above JDM and Shavkat given their last performances. If you look at it from a positive perspective this might set Ian up nicely. Let Belal/Leon play out. We all know JDM is out for awhile so after the Belal/Leon fight the question is who is available faster Ian or Shavkat?

Whomever is available faster gets the Belal/Leon winner and the other person can be the back up, and it would not be a terrible decision. Need to keep the division moving. Then let whomever is not fighting for the title face Usman. Colby can then face Belal (if he loses) or JDM, or since Colby wants to face a striker so much have him face MVP next.

The fight was easy to score. 1 and 3 Garry. The name means fuck all apparently because it didn't get him anywhere.

 

[flektarn]

It was boring.
Having an under the chin rnc and not being able to finish it...he better not go back to any BJJ gyms in Brazil for like a year. That's embarrassing.
And then when your boss comes out and says it should have been a draw.
Yea, didn't do him any good.
