Neil Magny responds to Ian Machado Garry callout
Ireland’s Ian Machado Garry’s next Octagon project is determined after it became confirmed that the unbeaten welterweight rising celebrity will address the sophisticated Geoff Neal at UFC 292 in Boston later this summer.
Sooner than that became put of living, despite the proven fact that, the Dubliner made obvious that there became an experienced title at 170-kilos that he became eager to take a look at himself against: Neil Magny. The American, a ten-year weak of the UFC roster, has battled nearly every welterweight on the roster in his 30 fights with the organisation — and as such, he acknowledged that he became no longer bowled over to listen to his title being uttered by the 25-year-outmoded Irishman.
“It’s indubitably a call out that’s payment sharp,” Magny acknowledged final week sooner than his slit up choice win against Philip Rowe at the UFC tournament in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday. “I imply, the fellow is for the time being, I factor in, ranked in the top 15. I factor in he’s undefeated in the UFC, as successfully. It’s a matchup that indubitably intrigues me.
“I’ve been known as out by actually every single fighter in the top 15 factual now sooner or later or every other,” Magny added. “Nonetheless them basically following by intention of and asserting, ‘Oh yeah, that’s a fight we if truth be told need.’ That no longer recurrently ever happens.
“It’s straightforward to gape at the number in the assist of the title and snort, ‘Hi there, I wish to fight this guy,’ and know the willingness that I’m going to impart optimistic to whomever it is miles. It is aesthetic that became the callout the least bit, but is it something they in point of fact need at the top of the day? I highly doubt it.”
Talking following his first-spherical knockout win against Daniel Rodriguez in Would maybe well merely, Garry outlined a map to take on several contenders at 170-kilos sooner than getting what he believes is an inevitable title shot in divulge to shut down any accusations that he’s being ‘fast-tracked’ in the direction of a global title.
At the time of the callout, Magny became unavailable attributable to his reserving to fight Rowe — but the UFC matchmakers it seems to be to be opted to give Garry a possibility a pair of rungs up the welterweight ladder with a bout against the #8 ranked Neal. A win there, and the top 5 completely beckons.
