Ian Machado Garry's path has been mapped out. The Irishman intends to defeat Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310, and then fight Belal Muhammad for the welterweight title on the same card that could feature an Islam Makhachev vs. Charles Oliveira rematch. Naturally, the bold proclamation drew fan attention.

Specifically, Garry outlined the entire saga as a Chute Boxe facing down the American Kickboxing Academy, which is strongly associated with Nurmagomedov due to the number of Dagestani fighters at the aforementioned gym. His statement was made in an interview with Shakiel Mahjouri.

"Chute Boxe vs Team Khabib. Let's go. That's what we want, that's what we need."

Fans on X, though, gave him a mixed reaction, especially as it makes it seem like he's overlooking Rakhmonov, a fellow undefeated fighter who has finished every single opponent from whom he's stood across. One fan claimed that Chute Boxe will taste defeat.

"Chute boxe will go home crying"

Meanwhile, another fan opined that Garry would suffer defeat at the hands of Rakhmonov.

"He's getting sleep [slept]"

This same sentiment was echoed by another fan.

Others poked fun at his continued attempts to associate with Brazilian MMA.

"My man is so braindead and delusional, he thinks he's Brazilian now"
