Ian
Garry is looking to steal the next welterweight title shot if
Islam
Makhachev doesn’t get it. 

The UFC 315
main event on Saturday in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, had major
implications for multiple weight classes. While Makhachev has been
eyeing a welterweight move for a while, he was unwilling to fight
his friend Belal
Muhammad, the former champ at 170 pounds. Dana White had made
clear that if Muhammad defended his title, Makhachev would have to
defend his lightweight title against former featherweight champ
Ilia
Topuria, who recently moved up to 155 pounds. 

However, Jack
Della Maddalena went on to dethrone “Remember the Name” via
unanimous decision in a massive upset at UFC 315. Makhachev
immediately teased a move to welterweight with double-champ
aspirations. Surging contender Garry considers Makhachev absolutely
deserving of the next welterweight title shot. However, if things
somehow don’t pan out for the Dagestani, “The Future” is willing to
challenge Maddalena and vows to decimate the Australian.

“You’ve got the new champion, Jack Della Maddalena, the Aussie.
Great performance but sloppy,” Garry said on social media. “Rumor
is, Islam Makhachev is moving up to 170. And if he does, then all
of us welterweights have to take a step back and give the man the
respect he deserves. But is negotiations don’t go so well, then
you’ve got a tall blonde Irishman who’s ready to take over the UFC
and get that belt. And I will smoke Jack Della Maddalena. I’ll box
the ears off of him.”

Maddalena hasn’t lost in 18 straight outings since 2017 and ended
Muhammad’s 11-fight unbeaten streak at UFC 315. Meanwhile, Garry
suffered his lone pro loss against Shavkat
Rakhmonov, who was originally expected to challenge Muhammad
for the title but could not accept the fight due to an injury. The
Irishman has since bounced back with a unanimous decision win over
a streaking Carlos
Prates.
