Ian Machado Garry challenges Belal Muhammad to use the same technique he employed against Jack Della Maddalena. On November 22 at ABHA Arena in Doha, Qatar, Machado Garry (16-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) will fight Muhammad (24-4 MMA, 15-4 UFC) in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 265 (ESPN+). Muhammad lost his title against Della Maddalena at UFC 315. In that fight, he largely stood and traded before using his grappling skills. Garry stated on Instagram, "Belal Muhammad thought he could outbox a boxer when he was defending his title in Montreal, Canada." "He was dumb and he was wrong. I hope he believes he can do that to me. It would make things easy for me. Garry, who beat Carlos Prates in the main event of UFC in April, is sure that he will make it seem easy versus Muhammad. Garry stated in another Instagram post, "You're going to see speed like you've never seen before." "Belal Muhammad, a well-known former champion, will look like a beginner right in front of your eyes. You saw me destroy (Neil) Magny, shut down Shavkat (Rakhmonov), and put together Prates. Now you're about to see the best version of "The Future." Qatar, you're extremely lucky.
