Makhachev Advises Garry to Focus on Training Ahead of UFC 330
Islam Makhachev has recommended that Ian Machado Garry focus on training instead of participating in media interviews as they prepare for their title fight at UFC 330 on August 15.
Makhachev expressed concerns that Garry's media presence has been detrimental, suggesting that he appears to be influenced by external pressures. The lightweight champion noted that Garry's attempts to create a villain persona lack authenticity and dismissed his claims of finishing Makhachev in the bout.
Garry, who has a record of 10-1 in the UFC, is coming off victories against notable opponents but has faced criticism for his comments regarding women. UFC 330 will take place at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, with the main card available on ESPN Plus pay-per-view.
