The UFC is Comparing Me To Conor McGregor – Ian Machado Garry Explains

Ian Machado Garry thinks the UFC is holding him back because they don’t want him to become as famous as Conor McGregor very soon.

In a recent interview with Mike Bohn, ‘The Future’ talked about how he has not moved up in rank despite winning four of his last 5 fights. This weekend, after Islam Makhachev dethroned Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322, the landscape of the welterweight division changed.

‘JDM’ is now the No. 1-ranked contender. After that, Belal Muhammad, Michael Morales, Shavkat Rakhmonov, Carlos Prates, and Garry follow in order.
