Revised UFC Rankings and Contenders
Ranked at number 7 in the official UFC rankings is Garry, who is eyeing potential matchups with Joaquin Buckley and Kamaru Usman in the welterweight division. Despite Buckley’s upcoming fight against Usman, he made headlines by causing a stir at UFC Kansas City fight week, leading to a tense moment on stage with Garry’s family. Garry remains focused on his path to the title and believes Buckley’s actions stem from desperation.
While Garry is open to facing Buckley in the future, he sees his next challenge likely coming from Belal, whom he predicts will defeat Usman. Looking ahead, Garry is confident in his ability to win the championship and is prepared to take on opponents like Islam or Shavkat in a rematch. His sights are set on securing the belt and solidifying his reign as a top contender in the welterweight division.
