Ian Machado Garry teased on Instagram that he is the chosen challenger for Islam Makhachev's welterweight title defense, criticizing the champ for needing more time despite being P4P No. 1. Garry, on a two-fight win streak after UD wins over Carlos Prates and Belal Muhammad, follows his lone UFC loss to Shavkat Rakhmonov. Makhachev won the belt via decision over Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322 in November. This intensifies the welterweight title picture race with Michael Morales also in contention. Expect Makhachev's camp to respond soon, potentially confirming the matchup.
