However, Ian Garry, the Irish welterweight prospect thinks this match-up is worthy of attention while comprehending certain complaints from the fans. In addition, he advocates for this fight and urges the UFC to make it official. Why does he say this? Let’s wait no further and find out.

Ian Garry makes a case for Leon Edwards vs Belal Muhammad

Muhammad and Edwards are not the best trash-talkers in the world. That is why, many fans are not interested in tuning in because they know that the lead-up would not be entertaining. However, Garry argues that the build-up not being entertaining is irrelevant because stylistically this match-up screams fireworks.

He said, “If the fight is going to live up and be good enough stylistically, why not make it happen? Why not just talk about the fighting? Leon is a phenomenal fighter, Belal is a phenomenal fighter, so let them go at each other.”

From the aforementioned comments, it is safe to say that Garry is a MMA fan through and through. Instead of the build-up, he is interested to see all the action inside the octagon. Nevertheless, amidst this saga, Leon Edwards gets praised by White himself.

Let’s find out what the CEO of the UFC thinks of the welterweight champion.
