“Colby got away with it and he wasn’t the only one who did it – they all make excuses,” the Irishman told talkSPORT. “I’m in a position where everyone above me is injured and Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad are fighting each other. I’m not interested in fighting anyone below me, but I have no other choice because I want to be active. I will come out against anyone who is willing to share the octagon with me on June 29”
“I was offered a fight with Michael Page and I said ‘yes’, but now he and his trainers are making a decision because they have doubts about him making weight in seven weeks. They offered me Colby, I said ‘yes.’ They offered me MVP, I said ‘yes.’ They offered me Shawn Brady, I said ‘yes.’ They were offering me the Uzbek guy Ruziboyev if he won, I said ‘yes’. And I said ‘yes’ to Joaquin Buckley.”
Undefeated Ian Machado Garry picked up his seventh UFC victory in February with a split decision win over Jeff Neal at UFC 298 in Anaheim, and the 26-year-old Irishman is currently ranked seventh in the organization’s welterweight division.
