Garry: I’d Beat Makhachev Right Now, Confidence Soars

UFC welterweight Ian Garry, who just lost a five-round title bid to Islam Makhachev at UFC 330, says he would beat Makhachev in a rematch right now, citing immense self-belief and his team's preparation, though an immediate title shot is unlikely and he will need to beat other top contenders to earn another crack at the belt. He acknowledged he could have added more volume and kicks in the fight, and at 28 Garry remains a top contender with time on his side.

Rogan questions Makhachev's jump to 170 as bigger welterweights loom

Joe Rogan watched Islam Makhachev defend his 170-pound title at UFC 330 and expressed pride but concern about how the champ will fare against truly big welterweights. He highlighted Michael Morales and Carlos Prates as powerfully sized opponents with knockout ability, noting the extra toll the heavier division takes on Makhachev’s grappling. Rogan even suggested, if in his corner, a move back down to 155 might be wiser than chasing 170‑pound power. The takeaway is whether Makhachev can translate his dominance to the biggest welterweights.
