Ian
Garry and Joaquin
Buckley seem to be developing a little bit of a beef.

Buckley was unimpressed by Garry’s unanimous decision win
over Carlos
Prates at UFC
Kansas City last weekend. Garry maintained distance and put on
a one-sided technical masterclass before surviving a last-round
flurry from “The Nightmare.” Buckley accused Garry of playing it
safe and running away from Prates throughout the fight. Buckley
believes Garry could have produced a “Performance of the Night”
kind of bout but was too scared to do it.

Garry dismissed Buckley’s comments as mere clout chasing. The
Irishman claims “New Mansa” cannot generate enough hype by himself
and tries to piggyback off other people’s stardom. Garry advised
Buckley to focus on his upcoming fight with Kamaru
Usman instead of trying to create content. “The Future” also
didn’t rule out a future potential clash with Buckley. As for the
Usman matchup, Garry predicts Buckley to “run through” the former
welterweight champ.

“It’s just desperation,” Garry told Ariel Helwani. “That’s all it
is, it’s quite sad. It’s desperation. He can’t generate enough talk
about himself… so he tries to piggyback off other people. It’s
okay, let him be him… My man’s focusing on trying to get all the
content he can with me this weekend. Meanwhile, he’s got a fight,
focus on this fight, get this fight done and then we’ll see what
the future does… Meanwhile, I think he runs through Usman. I don’t
think he [just] wins, I think he demolishes him.”

Garry is 9-1 in the
UFC and bounced back from his lone career loss against Shavkat
Rakhmonov last weekend. Meanwhile, Buckley and Usman will
headline UFC
Atlanta on June 14 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
Buckley is riding a six-fight winning streak with four finishes and
is coming off a TKO win over Colby
Covington.
