Irish UFC welterweight Ian Garry expressed confidence that he will take the championship title from Dagestani Islam Makhachev.

"I will beat him, and my resume will feature a win over the best fighter on the planet right now. When I beat him and take the championship belt, no one will be able to bring up a single argument against me. Any excuses will become irrelevant, they will simply disappear. Searching for excuses will be meaningless. The belt will be mine, and I will defend it as often as possible.

There are those who say: 'You got lucky.' But could it be that Ian Garry is just better?" said Garry in a video published on X.

Let us remind you that Garry last fought in November, defeating Belal Muhammad by unanimous decision.
