Who deserves it more, Morales or Garry

[Eric Silva 2.0]

Morales resume:
Rd 1 TKO #2 contender Sean Brady
Rd 1 TKO former contender Gilbert Burns
Rd 1 TKO gatekeeper Neil Magny
UD over Matthews
UD over Griffin
19 fight win streek

Garry Resume
UD over #1 contender Belal
Competitive victory over fellow contender Prates
UD over MVP
UD over Magny
SD over Neil
Competitive loss against Shavkat
2 fight win streak

Morales and it's a no-brainer. Garry is the refutation to all the people complaining about boring grapplers/grappling fights. The guy is highly skilled but he fights safe.

 

[VAfan]

could make the case for either or. people are calling garry a points fighter but personally i think he's an entertaining fighter to watch (if that matters to the matchmakers). then again morales is unbeaten with some fairly solid wins. wouldn't have a problem either way.

 

[CombatCyborg]

Garry is better. I don't get the hype for Morales, he's young and might be a contender soon but there's no reason for him to jump the line. Do people just want Makhachev to get an easy defence against an inexperienced guy?

Eh Garry has never looked as dominant against a good opponent as Morales did against Brady or Burns

Where's the eyepoke count? Unbelievable that doofy a$$ ref did not penalize Garry after the 2nd eye poke. When was that new rule coming into play? Thought they said immediately after Aspinal incident...

Anyway, Morales for that alone.

 

[Hezekiah]

"Styled on" is a hell of a claim for a point fighting beta who didn't leave a mark on his opponent

Stunned Prates more than once.

Still sore about JDM's non-performance?

 

[santiago]

If we're talking about deserve: Shavkat

If we're talking about what's going to happen : Usman

In both scenario Morales and Garry should just fight each other. I know sherdog is currently in love with Morales legendary Ecuadorian school of grappling but he definitely needs another fight.

No way Usman gets a title shot without another win, but Bald Fraud is a fraud so it might happen, esp if Usman has copies of the Epstein videos.

 

[AMAZINGUFC]

Morales is the guy Islam has to face.
Period

 

[FreedomCricket]

I don't think Prates gets it. Garry beat him and it would be very disputable if they give Prates the shot over the guy who beat him.

That prates/Garry fight was close and prates is finishing everyone in style. That's why he would get the nod. But I'm okay with Ian getting the shot.

 

[Hezekiah]

He marginally won 4 point fighting stinker rounds, then nearly got MURDERED in the final round. The only person who got hurt in that fight was Garry. Yes context matters.

This is one fight removed from his own loss to Shavkat.

Now Prates has walk-off, highlight reel KO'd two ranked opponents this year.

It is a fun time in the division with so much talent. Out of Shavkat, Garry, Prates and Morales, only one guy is eeking out decision wins by point fighting, and its Garry.

Prates nearly murdered Garry, no exaggeration. Didnt put Garry out momentarily or even score a 10-8, but he almost killed the man.

Shavkat's best win is against Garry...a decision.

Basically your post is what stupidity looks like.

Morales

Stop rewarding point fighters

You have to reward point fighters who actually dominate at a high level; it is a sport after all. But Garry's a point fighter who has very competitive fights where sometimes he only squeaks by (or fails to squeak by) in high level fights. If he were the only reasonable choice you'd still have to give him the shot, but there are several reasonable choices at WW right now, and Garry's at the back of that line.

To be fair to Garry, Usman is not a reasonable choice.

 

[Trabaho]

Both. I´d give the edge to Garry. Morales is a better challenge for Islam. Garry already got outgrappled by Shavkat.

 

[Oz.Pride]

Stunned Prates more than once.

Not at all. Made good cash on Israel by decision

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I would like to see Morales get the title shot

Ian Morales is a waste of an openant for islam..

Islam needs guys who have great tdd or very well rounded. If morales wants a title fight he needs to beat someone like usmen who can wrestle

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

Ian's win was better

 

[cburm]

Ian has a more stacked resume but also has taken a loss to Shavkat, for that reason I'd say Morales.

Morales loses to both and has zero chance vs islam..

Just a gifted title defence

 

[Hezekiah]

Morales loses to both and has zero chance vs islam..

Just a gifted title defence

But he finished a near 38-year old Burns coming off three losses, stopped Brady who didn't shoot for a takedown despite having a big height and reach disadvantage, and he has pink hair.

 

[thewhiterooster]

morales deserves more, but garry will get the next shot

 

[Deltron 6060]

Morales.
