Hear me out- I don’t know what kind of Reindeer games Islam is playing but it’s not cool. If you’re going to step up to welterweight because you think you can wrestle fuck JDM for the belt and double champ, then go ahead and do it. I don’t think he can, but who cares what I think about that. But don’t tease and talk, just do it
However, if he doesn’t, he has to fight the featherweight champion Top. I think he wins that fight easily just because of the size difference alone
Prates was supposed to win and finally expose Garry but, nah, not even close Garry outlanded Carlos Prates in total strikes 141-64. Garry also landed more significant strikes, 126-63. He won the fight by unanimous decision and shut everyone up for awhile
Shavkat is hurt for a long time and I still think Garry won that fight but i digress.
So I guess it’s up to Islam, but if Garry gets the shot at JDM, he takes the strap. Garry proved he has takedowns and a ground game his last few fights, his striking from distance is great, he has reach, a great gas tank and then there is “post championship letdown “ we’ve seen with unlikely guys winning the belt and giving it right back, like Belal just did
So yeah, Islam takes the easy fight against Top, JDM fights Garry, whoever wins fights Islam
Garry ftw
 
He would beat jdm i think. But what does that matter he couldn't beat shavkat with a torn knee ligament. Everyone is just waiting for shavkat and he is going to be the champ
 
I don't know if his safety first, have to survive five rounds to get a decision approach would work well against a dangerous grappler like Brady....Even against Shavkat, we all gave him credit, but it was mostly credit for surviving.
 
I agree with ts. Just rewatched his fight with Shavkat. I’m willing to bet he wins the rematch. And has a good shot at JDM.

I would also argue WW is wide open. Shav, Gary, JDM and Brady could all beat each other on any given day. I could see the belt changing hands a bunch.
 
Who has Garry beaten? Islam deserves this shot! He's given others a chance, let the man cook at WW!
 
Garry proved he is a contender over his last 2 fights; I don't know how realistic the title is for him with that level of competition at WW though. That weight class has gotten interesting.

I don't see him fighting Islam anytime soon. If Islam lost to JDM and Gary beat a top contender maybe.
