Former UFC Double Champ Blasts Ian Machado Garry’s Hopes of Facing Islam Makhachev Next

A former UFC double champion doesn’t consider Ian Machado Garry to be next in line to challenge Islam Makhachev, despite Garry’s impressive performance against Belal Muhammad at UFC Qatar.

Garry and Muhammad locked horns in the co-main event of UFC Qatar. In the three-round battle, the Dubliner dominated the majority of the fifteen minutes, punching clean, dictating the pace, piecing up Belal’s lead calf, and also stopping all the takedowns. After a unanimous decision victory, ‘The Future’ called out champion Islam Makhachev.

However, Henry Cejudo doesn’t like the idea of Garry fighting Islam right away.
