Sean Brady thinks Ian Machado Garry is ducking him.
Brady (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) revealed that he was contacted for a potential fight with Machado Garry (16-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) twice, but neither materialized. The Philadelphia native emerged as a top contender after dominating and submitting ex-welterweight champion Leon Edwards in the UFC Fight Night 255 headliner in March.
He is eager to compete.
“I got a call from my manager right around International Fight week so, at the end of June timeframe about me and Ian fighting in Chicago,” Brady said on his Instagram (h/t Championship Rounds). “I said yes. Didn’t hear anything for weeks. I’m assuming the UFC moved on. Recently, they hit us up and said me and Ian, main event in Vancouver. I said yes immediately. Immediately.
“Yes, let’s go. I’ve been wanting to fight since May and these are the only ones I’ve been offered. I said yes twice. Now, I don’t know why Ian’s f*cking dragging his feet or whatever he was doing and now they put in (Reinier De Ridder) and ‘Fluffy’ (Alexander Hernandez). Now once again, we’re sitting and waiting. So thanks Ian. Just lost another main event because of you, my man.”
Meanwhile, Machado Garry is coming off a main event win over Carlos Prates at UFC on ESPN 66 in April. Brady has since been calling out Machado Garry, but the fight is yet to materialize.
