PBP UFC Kansas City - Machado Garry vs. Prates Official PBP Discussion: Sat 4/26 at 6pm ET

[Zankou]

Ian as a back up is a bad idea. He gets starched by Belal back up or full camp imo.

Not physical enough to bear belal unfortunately … he will just get worn down and break

 

[markg171]

Garry is such a cuck to Brazilians. Dude needs to stop trying to please every Brazilian and make friends with them

Guy had CLEARLY won the decision, on short notice, and still wanted a moment together as combatants together only for this disrespectful fuck to leave him sitting there on his knees alone.

Garry needs to start acting like every other Irish I know.

 

[HCS]

As annoying as Garry can be, the dude is taking the hard fights, and winning.

He's growing on me for that reason alone.

He's a badass fighter. Just has a weird, kinda submissive fetish for Brazilians.

 

[Ares Black]

Felder acting like Garry dominated lol

He did, except for like two minutes of the fight.

 

[Substance Abuse]

I guess that draw wasn't laughable then, eh?

Yes. It was. Why? Garry won three rounds clear.

 

[Darkavius]

barring some horrendous injury that's a future champion

I don't know about that. He has not beat Shavkat and I don't think he can beat Belal.

 

[BroScienceTalkatWork]

Yeah and there are ways to deal with pressure, just like Prates showed. He just waited until it was too late to get to work.

True.. But it looked like he didn't have the skill to deal with Garry in the early rounds. Then Garry gassed, and he got on his brawler shit..

 

[Simple Southerner]

As annoying as Garry can be, the dude is taking the hard fights, and winning.

He's growing on me for that reason alone.

Yeah he's a bit cringey but the dude gets a lot of unnecessary hate he's a good fighter who's evolving I'm a fan.

 

[CasualBot]

Fucking amazing.

Thank you.

 

[Ares Black]

Prates had money on Garry, OR he has single digit fight IQ. Man I feel sick.

Or maybe Ian Garry was a lot better than you thought he was

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Shouldn't R5 have been a 10-8? Fight was 3 punches away from being stopped.

Not convinced Prates won 4 tough...

If Prates threw more and Garry somehow survived, sure. I like the nerds but I gave that as a 10-9 to Prates. If it was a 10-8, I deducted a point for bad fight IQ.

 

[HHJ]

Ian's got speed and volume, but physically just not strong enough to put people away or consistently outgrapple

 

[rorschach51]

Well 11 out of 14, 6 perfect not bad for the kid.

Also @Mask Of Winters get to bed ya old fucker! Goodnight Sherbro's!

 

[traditionally_irreverent]

Iain is a great fighter…
Although…
Single leg takedowns looked sloppy
He does not possess finishing power

 

[Ladder Master]

Boobs

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Or maybe Ian Garry was a lot better than you thought he was

While I may not like his personality whatsoever, it's stupid to think Ian is a bad fighter. Good fight iq, good frame for the division, slick striking, serviceable grappling.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

We really need to have soccer kicks, or at the very least knees to a downed opponent allowed.

 

[Substance Abuse]

The UFC really needs to implement the retirement they gave Anthony Smith to every fighter who's been around a long time.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Somehow I left that fight with a lesser opinion of both guys than I had went in. Still, Ian did his thing for 4 rounds. The big question for me has always been his chin, though, and seeing him get rocked that easily hasn't done anything to help disprove that concern.

Prates has reached his limit, and showed some horrible fight IQ.

This was a bad showing for both. Fact that they're both top 10 and Ian arguably top 5 shows bad UFC WW is. Most of the actual best WWs ain't in the UFC. You can't tell me Musaev wouldn't murk these 2.

Musaev, Jason, Ramazan, Amosov, Storley already rekt Buckley who is close to a title shot now lol, Thad

There's a strong rumor Shavkat hinted at that Jason KOd Ian in training too. This was a bad look for UFC's WW division.

 

[Fact Checker]

He got his ass handed to him for most of the fight. You people are weird and creepy.

Ass handed to him? Get real.


I gave Garry credit for his discipline and gameplan but an ass handing is LITERALLY when Garry Machado was ass up in the 5th taking harder blows than his wife with a BROzilian.
