Who’s next for Ian Machado Garry after beating Carlos Prates?
MMA Junkie’s Mike Bohn plays matchmaker and looks ahead to what makes sense for Ian Machado Garry in this edition of “Sean Shelby’s Shoes.”
UFC on ESPN 66 will go down as a critical moment in Ian Machado Garry’s career, because it marked the time he rebounded from his first defeat.
After losing his perfect record to Shavkat Rakhmonov in December, Machado Garry (16-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) got back on track Saturday at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Mo. , with a unanimous decision over Carlos Prates (21-7 MMA, 4-1 UFC).
Now, Machado Garry is seemingly in line for a backup fighter position around the UFC 315 title fight between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena on May 10, then insists he will be fighting the winner if his services are not needed.
Is Machado Garry’s place at the top of the welterweight division as strong as he believe? Or is he about to experience a curveball?
