Enjoy this next fight from Leon Edwards … it may be his last.
That’s according to No. 6-ranked welterweight contender Ian “The Future” Garry, who expects “Rocky” to get knocked out by Brazilian “Nerd” Carlos
Prates when they collide at the upcoming UFC 322 pay-per-view (PPV) card on Nov. 15 inside Madison Square Garden in New York City.
“I feel like Leon Edwards is on his way out and has been on his way out,” Garry told Games Hub. “But I don’t think he has a team strong enough or vocal enough to say what needs to be said. I feel like he has a bunch of ‘yes men’ behind him. Mentally, he’s weak. I feel like his love is gone from the game and there wasn’t much of a fighter in there in the first place. I think he’s gonna get knocked out, put unconscious, and we’re never gonna see Leon Edwards again.”
I’m not sure this is the sort of advice you get from “yes men.”
“Within the next 12 months, I want to guarantee myself as the next in line for the world title,” Garry said. “I want to win that world title and I want to prove to myself and to the world that I’m the best welterweight on the planet. And there is going to be no doubt that my name is in that conversation for the greatest fighter of all time.”
Garry is coming off a decision win over Prates at UFC Kansas City.
“I absolutely want to move up to middleweight at some point,” Garry added. “I don’t believe it’ll be anytime soon. I feel like it’s been a long time since you’ve seen anybody dominate a division. Like proper, complete domination. I want to be that guy. I want to dominate 170 first. So I will absolutely, at some point in time, move up to middleweight. And I’ve been shouting and saying this for so long, I would love to fight Khamzat Chimaev.”
