Ian Garry Criticizes UFC Title Shot Decision

Ian Machado Garry is expressing his dissatisfaction with the UFC's decision to give Jack Della Maddalena a title shot against welterweight champion Belal Muhammad at UFC 315. Garry, who recently lost a close fight against Shavkat Rakhmonov in a number one contender match, feels he deserved the opportunity more than Maddalena, who has been inactive due to a year-long injury. The original plan was for Rakhmonov to face Muhammad, but his injury led to Maddalena's promotion. Meanwhile, Leon Edwards, who was set to fight Maddalena, now faces Sean Brady, with the winner potentially earning a future title shot. Garry remains hopeful for a rematch with Rakhmonov to avenge his first career loss.
