\u201cI feel like Leon Edwards is on his way out and has been on his way out,\u201d Garry told Games Hub<\/a>. \u201cBut I don\u2019t think he has a team strong enough or vocal enough to say what needs to be said. I feel like he has a bunch of \u2018yes men\u2019 behind him. Mentally, he\u2019s weak. I feel like his love is gone from the game and there wasn\u2019t much of a fighter in there in the first place. I think he\u2019s gonna get knocked out, put unconscious, and we\u2019re never gonna see Leon Edwards again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the next 12 months, I want to guarantee myself as the next in line for the world title,\u201d Garry said. \u201cI want to win that world title and I want to prove to myself and to the world that I\u2019m the best welterweight on the planet. And there is going to be no doubt that my name is in that conversation for the greatest fighter of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI absolutely want to move up to middleweight at some point,\u201d Garry added. \u201cI don\u2019t believe it\u2019ll be anytime soon. I feel like it\u2019s been a long time since you\u2019ve seen anybody dominate a division. Like proper, complete domination. I want to be that guy. I want to dominate 170 first. So I will absolutely, at some point in time, move up to middleweight. And I\u2019ve been shouting and saying this for so long, I would love to fight Khamzat Chimaev.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI feel like Leon Edwards is on his way out and has been on his way out,\u201d Garry…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":164136,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,33601,638,82,702,4454],"class_list":["post-164135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc-news","tag-upcoming-ufc-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164135"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164135\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
