Ian Garry calls Islam Makhachev 'princess,' says he's been waiting since May

Ian Garry has called Islam Makhachev a "princess" while claiming he has been waiting for the lightweight champion to agree to a fight since May. Garry criticized Makhachev for inconsistent messaging about his availability, noting the champion first cited a hand injury, then Dana White mentioned August while Makhachev spoke about July. The Irish contender stated he has been ready to fight since Makhachev turned down a May bout. Islam Makhachev responded to Garry's callout, saying not to worry about his injuries and that he is ready to fight anytime and anyone, just waiting for a contract. The exchange highlights the ongoing negotiations and verbal sparring between the two fighters.
