Ian Garry expressed frustration after losing a title eliminator to Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310, believing he deserved a shot at the welterweight title. Rakhmonov's injury led to Jack Della Maddalena being chosen for the title fight against Belal Muhammad, which Garry disagreed with. He acknowledged losing to Rakhmonov but felt he was close to victory. Garry criticized the decision to overlook him in favor of an injured fighter and hinted at a future rematch with Rakhmonov.
I had a No. 1 contender's fight where the guy now has to get knee reconstruction and is out for a year. But you know, it's not my fault.
The world title fight was meant to be Shavkat Rakhmonov taking on Belal Muhammad for the world title, but Shavkat, apparently, is out injured.
