Islam Makhachev says Ian Machado Garry acts like a bad boy and needs to learn some manners.<\/p>\n

The reigning welterweight<\/a> champion defends his 170-pound strap against Garry on Saturday at UFC 330<\/a> in Philadelphia, and Makhachev told reporters during his media scrum that the challenger’s bravado will cost him when the cage door closes. “I think he’s good person, good guy, but he acts like he’s bad boy or something like this,” Makhachev said, per BJPenn.com. “We will make him humble.”<\/p>\n

Garry has promised not just a knockout win but an emphatic finish rather than a lucky shot. UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier called that approach a mistake, though others believe the Irishman is simply selling the fight. Garry told media members that Carlos Prates deserves the next title shot after UFC 330<\/a> and said he would give the Brazilian that opportunity if he beats Makhachev.<\/p>\n

Joe Rogan admitted he would not be shocked if Makhachev retires after Saturday, depending on how the fight plays out. Makhachev is attempting his first successful welterweight<\/a> title defense after moving up from lightweight<\/a>, where he dominated the division for years.<\/p>\n
