In the welterweight (up to 77,1 kg) musical chairs, Ian Garry brought forward his return to the octagon by a week, leaving the UFC Tampa card , in which he was to face Joaquin Buckley , and replacing Belal Muhammad to face Shavkat Rakhmonov in the co-main event of UFC 310 , this Saturday (7). Despite the situation being resolved, the Irishman is still angry with big names in the category, who in his opinion, have been avoiding more complicated confrontations.
In a recent interview on 'The Ariel Helwani Show', Ian Garry didn't mince words when criticizing Kamaru Usman for allegedly refusing to fight him.

“Usman has a big chest, but small balls. He looks like a big shot, but when it comes to what’s between his legs, he’s a small man. He and Colby (Covington) are older, they’ve fought all these guys and now they want to pick the most accessible matchups. I guarantee Usman will try to fight Jack Della Maddalena , because he saw how Gilbert Burns managed to take him down. Why would he want to fight the taller, more reachable, harder-to-handle guy when he can fight a guy that two people could easily take down? I guarantee Usman will try to fight JDM, because he has a weak mind,” the Irishman blasted.
Ian Garry wasn't the only one to direct criticism at Kamaru Usman recently. The former champion even responded to some of it in recent comments.
