"Ian Garry is considered a frontrunner for the next welterweight title shot against Islam Makhachev, alongside Michael Morales. Garry has been vocal about his desire for a title shot, especially with Makhachev's recent claims of a hand injury raising doubts about his readiness to fight."
"Makhachev recently denied accusations from Topuria regarding a pulled fight, instead claiming that Topuria demanded an unrealistic amount of money. Dana White has also denied rumors about Makhachev vs. Topuria being the original plan for the UFC White House card, citing Makhachev's hand injury."
Ian Garry is actively seeking a welterweight title shot against Islam Makhachev, who is currently involved in a potential matchup with lightweight champion Ilia Topuria. Topuria is set to defend his title against Justin Gaethje, while Makhachev's claims of a hand injury raise questions about his availability. Garry has publicly challenged Makhachev, suggesting that if his hand is fine, there should be no excuses for not fighting in August. Garry holds a record of 10-1 in the UFC, with his only loss to Shavkat Rakhmonov, who is currently injured.
