Belal Muhammad mocks Ian Garry’s ‘Point Jab’ style: Machado goes running

Belal Muhammad had some clearly disparaging things to say about Ian Garry’s style, calling the former UFC welterweight champion a “point jab” style. This was expressed by Mohammed during an interview with MMA junkie with ‘Remember the Name’ touching on several topics before this important fight with Machado Garry in a few days.

Muhammad will look to derail the rising contender in the co-main event UFC Qatar later this week when Belal Muhammad enters the cage for his first fight since losing the welterweight strap in May. When giving his overview of this fight with Machado Garry and his thoughts on the machinations of this duel, Mohammed said:

“I think Ian’s going to try to run around for the whole first round. But by the end of the first round, his little point jab isn’t going to work. Then I’m going to grab him. I’m going to take him down. I’m going to let him back up, just because I want to show him that I can take him down if I want to. And then I’m going to take him down… For me it’s finishing him on his feet and then reminding everyone who I am.”

Belal Muhammad calls Kamaru Usman a kneeless old fart who doesn’t deserve a title shot

Belal Muhammad has thrown cold water on some’s narrative that Kamaru Usman should get a title shot against newly minted welterweight kingpin Islam Makhachev in the wake of the enthronement at UFC 322. With Ali Abdelaziz managing both Makhachev and Usman, Muhammad mentioned in the same MMA junkie interview above that he feels like Abdelaziz is planting seeds for this fight.

This would be obvious because both are his clients and it would clearly be to Abdelaziz’s advantage to be next in such a title fight.

This was around the time in the interview when Mohammed called Usman an old fart with no knees and hinted that Islam Makhachev would only want to pursue such a fight to get the easiest option out of the way first. Many think names like Michael Morales and Carlos Prates are higher in the queue for title contenders [with both authoring massive wins at UFC 322 as well] then Usman, who has gone 1-4 in his last handful of fights.
