Ian Machado Garry on his future goals

In a recent interview with Severe MMA, Ian Machado Garry shared his thoughts on what he wants next.

He then speaks about what he thinks he’s capable of achieving. “I want to get the title as the best striker in the division, and that comes when I knock out ‘Wonderboy,’ Garry said as quoted by mmajunkie.usatoday.com.

“And that’s when that will come. And then after that, I want to start tackling the grapplers and the wrestlers, because I want to show the world that I’m not just a striker, and anyone who’s ever trained with me knows that I can do it all.

“So to fight the Usmans, to fight the Colbys, to fight whoever they ******* put in front of me that’s going to want to take me down and get rid of my hands and my feet. I’m excited to show the world what else is there.

Machado Garry further said: I’m excited to show the world what else I’m capable of. Look, I’m telling you now, anybody, you give me Sean Brady as a grappler, I’ll sub him. You give me ******* Usman or Colby, I’ll outgrapple them or I’ll outwrestle them.

I don’t care what it is, I will find a way to win. It’s what I do, I’m a competitor. And above all else, I will get my hand raised”.
