Ian Machado Garry thinks size matters in the UFC 322 welterweight title fight.<\/p>\n

Jack Della Maddalena (18-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) makes his first 170-pound title defense against former lightweight champion Islam Makhachev (27-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) in the Nov. 15 main event at Madison Square Garden in New York.<\/p>\n

Welterweight contender Machado Garry (16-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC), who is edging closer to his first UFC title shot, plans on attending the fight and explains why we likely won’t see a new champion.<\/p>\n

“I would want to be there,” Machado Garry told MMA Knockout on Sports Illustrated<\/a>. “I’d want to see it in real time because real time is different to the TV. Again, stylistically, it’s a great fight. Islam’s phenomenal everywhere and he is only getting better everywhere, but so is Jack. And I just feel like the size difference, JDM couldn’t physically make 155, and I genuinely believe, I think JDM has the opportunity to go out here and knock Islam out.”<\/p>\n

Machado Garry hasn’t competed since handing Carlos Prates his first octagon loss in their UFC on ESPN 66 main event<\/a> in April. He is zoning in on two potential opponents for his next fight.<\/p>\n

“The two people I want to fight right now are Sean Brady and Belal Muhammad,” Garry said. “They’re No. 1 and No. 2 in the world. And a win over either of those (guys), as I believe, cements me as the No. 1 contender and next for that belt, and that’s what I want.”<\/p>\n
