What's Next for Ian Garry? Should Islam Retire?

from WEIGHING IN · host John McCarthy & Josh Thomson's MMA Show

UFC 330 is in the books—and now the biggest question is: WHAT'S NEXT? On this episode of Weighing In, Josh Thomson and John Morgan break down the fallout from Islam Makhachev's victory over Ian Machado Garry and what the result means for both fighters moving forward. After another massive win, Islam continues to build one of the most impressive résumés in UFC history. But with another elite challenger defeated, is there anyone left who can realistically stop him? And should Islam continue chasing more championships—or has he already done enough to consider walking away? The guys also take a close look at Ian Garry's performance, what he showed against one of the best fighters in the world, where he needs to improve, and who should be next for Garry as he looks to work his way back toward another title opportunity. Plus, Josh and John discuss the biggest takeaways from UFC 330, the welterweight title picture, Islam's growing GOAT case, and what's next for the UFC's biggest stars. Did Ian Garry do enough to prove he's still a future champion? And how much longer does Islam Makhachev have to fight?
