Ian Machado Garry proved once again he can compete with the best in the welterweight division, gutting out a tough five-round win over the formidable Carlos Prates at UFC Kansas City. But should fans be concerned that Prates nearly put Garry down in the fifth round? Does Garry need another fight to secure a title opportunity?
In a new episode of the podcast “On To the Next One,” Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss Garry`s next steps, as he plans to travel to Montreal as a backup fighter for the welterweight title fight between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315. Also discussed are potential future bouts for Zhang Mingyang after he sent Anthony Smith into a “bloody retirement,” for featherweight dark horse contender David Onama, for Randy Brown following his Knockout of the Year candidate against Nicolas Dalby, as well as for middleweights Abus Magomedov, Ikram Aliskerov, and others.
Plus, the Eddie Hall matchup that absolutely must happen.
