UFC welterweight contender Ian Machado Garry’s thoughts on women in power rubbed UFC Belgrade headliner Uros Medic wrongly.
Ian Machado Garry is weeks away from squaring off with UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev in the UFC 330 main event. Garry earned the next welterweight title shot following wins over Belal Muhammad and Carlos Prates, and he’s looking to snap Makhachev’s pound-for-pound reign.
While Garry has upped the trash talk as UFC 330 gets closer, some of his recent interviews haven’t drawn rave reviews. Commentator Brendan Schaub recently called a recent Garry sitdown one of the ‘worst interviews he’s seen’ ahead of UFC 330.
But it was Garry’s recent remarks about something other than fighting that riled up the internet this week.
Uros Medic goes off on Ian Machado Garry after claiming women should run the world
In a recent interview with High Performance, Garry touted his wife’s influence on him while claiming the world would be better run by women.
“If the world were run by women, we’d all live in a better world,” Garry said.
“It would all be simpler and easier. That’s the fact of the matter—whether you want to agree with it or not. If women ruled the world, and we just listened to them and let them take over, it would be an easier world.” (h/t MMA Fighting)
During an interview with MMA Fighting, UFC Belgrade headliner Uros Medic was asked about Garry’s comments and didn’t hold back.
“Obviously he’s been very vocal lately about women running the world, and I just had a message for him,” Medic said of Garry.
“Just because his woman is running his world, it doesn’t mean that women should run all the world, because men built the world. They’ve given the rights to women, and they maintain the safety and freedom [of] everybody.
“So if he wants to have his world run by women, I have no problem with that,” Medic continued on Garry. “Just don’t try to impose none of that bullshit on me.”
Medic fights Daniel Rodriguez in the UFC Belgrade main event on Saturday.
