Ian Garry Wants To See Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad
During an appearance on “The MMA Hour,” Ian Machado Garry admitted that he is puzzled by the UFC’s hesitation to book Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad (via MMAJunkie.com).
“I don’t understand this, I really don’t,” Garry said on “The MMA Hour.” “I see it like, for the UFC – Dana always speaks about how he wants to move the division, he wants to keep the champions active, and he wants to get the next guy in motion. I understand that the build-up for Belal and Leon might not be the most entertaining in the world. They’re not the most entertaining to listen to, or the press conference isn’t going to be that big of a build-up.
“But like everything that’s going on in my life at the moment, if the fight is going to live up and be good enough stylistically, why not make it happen? Why not just talk about the fighting? Leon is a phenomenal fighter. Belal is a phenomenal fighter. So let them go at each other and let them see who’s the best in the welterweight division at the moment. I believe they absolutely should make that fight.”
