By MMAReign News Desk·Sep 9, 2026 • 2:03 AM

Ian Machado Garry has expressed interest in fighting undefeated welterweight Michael Morales following his recent title fight loss at UFC 330.

Following his recent title fight loss to Islam Makhachev at UFC 330, welterweight contender Ian Machado Garry is looking to rebound with a matchup against another undefeated prospect. In a recent interview with Eze Talks Sports, Garry identified fellow rising contender Michael Morales as the specific opponent he wants for his next outing.

Garry, who remains determined to earn another opportunity at the welterweight championship, stated that a fight against the unbeaten Morales is the most logical path forward. The matchup would pit two of the division's most promising talents against one another as both look to solidify their standings within the top tier of the 170-pound weight class.

While an official bout agreement has not been reached, Garry's public callout marks a clear intention to move past his previous defeat and engage in a high-stakes encounter. Morales, who has been building significant momentum, has yet to officially respond to the challenge. For fantasy enthusiasts, this potential pairing represents a significant stylistic clash, as both fighters possess high-level finishing abilities and strong records that would likely make them attractive targets for upcoming fantasy fight cards and roster building.
