Ian Machado Garry, the rising star in the UFC's welterweight division, has been making waves with his recent performances. Garry's recent resume includes impressive victories over Michael Page, Carlos Prates, and the former champion Belal Muhammad at UFC Fight Night 265. These wins have solidified his position as a top contender in the division. But here's where it gets interesting: Michael Bisping believes Garry could be the next opponent for the champion, Islam Makhachev.
Bisping highlights Garry's impressive track record, noting that he is the No. 1-ranked fighter in the world and has bested some of the toughest opponents. Garry's victory over Shavkat Rakhmonov in a No. 1 contender matchup, where he almost secured a submission in the fifth round, further cements his status as a force to be reckoned with. Since then, Garry has continued to showcase his resilience and skill, taking on and defeating top-tier opponents like Belal Muhammad.
The idea of Garry getting a title shot is not far-fetched, according to Bisping. He argues that Garry's recent performances and his position as a top-ranked fighter make him a strong candidate for a shot at the championship. With his impressive wins over high-profile opponents, Garry has proven his ability to handle the pressure and deliver in crucial moments.
The potential match-up between Garry and Makhachev could be a highly anticipated event, as it would pit a rising star against the reigning champion. Garry's recent success and Makhachev's dominance in the division make this a compelling fight that could shape the future of the welterweight division.
