Despite a mostly dominant performance at UFC Kansas City, there are still plenty of naysayers regarding Ian Machado Garry's UFC title claim. 'The Future' defeated Carlos Prates by decision , enduring a rough closing frame where he was visibly hurt and close to being finished. Whether by inability or exhaustion, Prates didn't hunt the finish, and it cost him the fight.
As a result, he remains No. 13 in the welterweight rankings after the latest update. Garry believes a UFC title shot is next, and Dana White confirmed Garry's status as the UFC 315 backup , but fellow contender Sean Brady believes he doesn't deserve anything.
Sean Brady discredits Garry's win over Prates, 'doesn't deserve' UFC title shot Speaking on his Bradybagz podcast, Brady remarked, "[Garry] f****** touches you and runs for three rounds. My man was on his hands and knees, crawling. I don't know how Prates didn't finish him in that sequence on the ground.
.. "[.
..] He can go weigh in and be a backup fighter all he wants.
That doesn't mean [anything]. You just beat No. 13, you don't deserve anything.
" Since submitting Leon Edwards at UFC London , Brady is the No. 1 welterweight contender. However, his sole professional defeat came at the hands of champion Belal Muhammad back in 2022.
It also happens to be Muhammad's only KO/TKO win in 19 UFC fights.
