Who deserves it more, Morales or Garry

Let Garry and Morales fight for it.

I want to watch Sherdog erupt when Garry beats up Islam, I'm biased toward Garry getting the shot.
 
Garry needs to decide whether he wants to continue as a point fighter and take the long road to a title shot, or take some risks in a fight and commit to trying to finish someone. But there's no way he's getting the next shot after that 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. 😭

Usman has something Morales hasn't: a name.

I don't understand the fascination with Morales. He's legit one of the easiest matchups for Makhachev
 
Morales, Ian just lost to Shavkat. Carlos just lost to Ian. Don't care how entertaining his wins were after. Some of you are why people get bad title shots.
 
The only one who can challenge Islam's power and wrestling is Nomad.

Garry, Morales and Prates would be steamrolled in a 5 rounds lay&pray fight since they have absolutely no idea about wrestling
 
Garry vs Morales for the ZMF belt zestiest mofo lol
 
Morales. His last three fights were all wins via t/ko. And he's undefeated.

Garry is doing good, but his last 3 wins were all UD (and if we look at the last 4 there is a UD loss in there).

Morales seems red hot right now. NOW is the time to let him face Islam. Don't hold off any longer and risk him losing some of that momentum (even if not via loss, if he goes out there and wins via close decision, that's rub some of the sheen off him).

Let Garry fight maybe JDM in Feb/March.

(And Shavkat should fight Prates upon his return)
 
Thread of the year.

Morales would fuck Islam up.

I like UFC, but the way that UFC sucks is that they duck real shit like Morales Islam. Betcha we never see it.
 
Garry is the P4P most respectful fighter, a gentleman. He also manhandled Prates so should be next in line. Morales is compelling but he’s younger and can wait.
 
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
Belal was the #2 contender as well not number 1.

Morales by any metric besides Garry gum flapping should get his shot.
 
I'd like to see it. He's been incredibly impressive so far. He's young, but the other contenders have losses that he doesn't. Not that being undefeated means he should jump the line, just that the other ones in contention have lost relatively recently.

Whoever did less eye pokes.
 
Wish they all got title shots, but WW division is a slow moving train. That's why contenders typically sit around and wait for their shot. I'll have to give it to Garry based off activity, but I hate the way he fights. Atleast it lets fighters know if you're busy you'll get picked.
 
The only person that got hurt in the Garry x Prates fight was Garry, and he nearly got put away. He has routinely point fought against ranked competition with a few absolute stinkers.

Prates has two - holy shit someone died - KOs since his fight with Garry, who has yet another point fighting stinker over Belal coming off a loss.

I see no clear mandate for Garry as he lost to Shavkat... Prates and Morales are both surging.

Prates over Garry? Haven’t heard that take yet….
