Ian Machado Garry: 'I'm going to finish | MMA News
Welterweight contender Ian Machado Garry could also be one battle away from a title shot. That’s what he believes.
Garry (16-1) takes on former champion and top contender Belal Muhammad (24-4, 1 NC) in the UFC Qatar co-main event on Nov. 22. A win over Muhammad leads to a title battle, according to Garry.
“When you knockout No. 1 in the world, there is nothing else. When you knockout a former champion and he was No. 1 in the world right now and you smash him in less rounds than JDM (Jack Della Maddalena) could, then that’s all that matters to me. I know I’m getting a world title fight after this” Garry said on The Ariel Helwani Show.
“The Future” would not just need to defeat Muhammad when the 2 meet inside Ali Bin Hamad al-Attiyah Arena. He intends to make a assertion against the previous champion.
“I would like to think it’s not going to get past the second,” Garry said. “I want to finish him. I want to make it violent. I want to put that exclamation mark on it like I am the best welterweight on the planet right now. … I want everybody to see come Nov. 22 that I’m the best welterweight walking the planet.”

“I’m going to finish Belal Muhammad. That is my goal. That is my single one focus of this fight is I want to go out there and leave it unquestionable that I’m the single greatest welterweight walking the planet,” continued Garry.
Garry last fought in April, defeating Carlos Prates via unanimous choice after accepting the bout on short discover. With the win, he rebounded from his first profession loss to Shavkat Rakhmonov in his earlier outing.
Muhammad misplaced the 170-pound championship in his last battle to Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315.
