Ian Machado Garry 'furious' about not | MMA News
On May 10, at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Jack Della Maddalena will combat champion Belal Muhammad for the welterweight title and Ian Machado Garry is not joyful about it.
Muhammad (24-3) was scheduled to put his title on the road for the primary time in opposition to the undefeated Shavkat Rakhmonov (19-0) however a knee harm prevented Rakhmonov from competing. Matchmakers opted to pit Muhammad in opposition to Della Maddalena (17-2) as an alternative.
In a video posted to Instagram, Garry (15-1) mentioned he was ‘furious’ with the combat promotion’s determination to grant Della Maddalena a title shot and that he would have been a higher option.
“Why aren’t I fighting for the title? I had a chat with my agent. I rang him when he told me about this news, and I was livid – still am to this day,” Garry said in the video.
“I had a No. 1 contender’s fight where the guy. (Rakhmonov) now has to get knee reconstruction and is out for a year. But you know, it’s not my fault. I didn’t do it. I didn’t stab his knee 20 something times and boot the leg off. I’m not fighting for a world title because I’m coming off a loss, and they’re giving it to a guy who’s been injured for a year, and they think that’s more exciting, but they’re wrong.
“The world title fight was meant to be Shavkat Rakhmonov taking on Belal Muhammad, but Shavkat apparently is out injured. I wonder how that happened? Now they’re pulling in a guy who hasn’t fought in a year because he’s had an operation on his forearm because he broke it in his last fight, hasn’t fought in a long time, and hasn’t been active. So, they’ve given it to Jack Della Maddalena because I’m coming off of a loss. That’s Okay. Don’t worry. I’ll get you all. You’re all mine.”

Garry suffered his first profession loss in his final outing, dropping to Rakhmomov through determination. He’s ranked No. 7 within the welterweight division.
