Former UFC middleweight champion, Chris Weidman is unhappy with his placement on the UFC 292 for his fight against Brad Tavares.

Weidman is set to make his Octagon return after two years away from the sport, after suffering a gruesome leg break against Uriah Hall in 2021. The 39-year-old was always determined to get back into the Octagon in order to start one last run.

Weidman will likely be inducted in the hall of fame once he retires, and has already has a legendary career. However, for his comeback fight the UFC has opted to put him on the prelims, something with the ‘All American’ is not too pleased about.

“It’s kind of disrespectful, to be honest. I’m not gonna pretend like it’s not,” Weidman said to ESPN. “To be out for two years with a broken injury, I broke my leg on the mats of the UFC on a pay-per-view, first card since COVID, first fully packed arena in Jacksonville; put my body on the line and they put me on a prelim? That’s a bad idea.

“You know what? It probably works out for everybody at the end of the day because it’s a little bit of motivation,” Weidman continued. “Like, ‘Alright, at first you disrespect me like that. What, you think I’m done?’ No, I’m here to make a statement.” (H/T MMA News)

Chris Weidman Vs. Brad Tavares

Weidman will take on fellow veteran, Tavares who is currently riding a two-fight losing streak, but has proven himself as a tough and capable middleweight over the past decade.

Weidman too has not enjoyed the greatest run of late but has a sensational pedigree and tenacity. A win here could set him up to face somewhere in the top-15.

Ian Garry claims fight fans don’t care about Sterling vs. O’Malley at UFC 292: ‘They’re tuning in for me’

Ian Garry doubled down on his statement that fans are only tuning in to watch him compete at UFC 292, and not for the bantamweight championship headliner. On Saturday night, ‘The Future’ will return to the Octagon seeking his sixth-straight win under the UFC banner as the promotion returns to Boston for a stacked night […]

Ian Garry doubled down on his statement that fans are only tuning in to watch him compete at UFC 292, and not for the bantamweight championship headliner.

On Saturday night, ‘The Future’ will return to the Octagon seeking his sixth-straight win under the UFC banner as the promotion returns to Boston for a stacked night of fights. Stepping under the spotlight at TD Garden, Ian Garry will face his toughest test to date when he meets welterweight veteran Neil Magny.

Originally, Garry was scheduled to compete against Geoff Neal, but Neal was forced to withdraw, opening the door for the ‘Haitian Sensation’ to step in and attempt to derail Garry’s full-steam-ahead hype train.

Despite the short notice replacement, Ian Garry is still 100% convinced that he is the true draw of UFC 292 and not the two title fights that will feature in the co-main and main event. During an appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Garry suggested that he was carrying the event on his back. “I believe that I am carrying this 292 card on my back and that if it wasn’t for me, this card would go down the drain,” Garry said.

Ian Garry Doubles Down on MMA Hour Comments

During his appearance at the UFC 292 media event on Wednesday, Ian Garry followed up on those comments, claiming that nobody in their right mind is tuning in to see Aljamain Sterling defend his title against Sean O’Malley.

“Who in good f*ck is waking up at 5 a.m. in the morning in Europe, or the rest of the world for that matter, to watch Aljamain Sterling and Sean O’Malley? They’re waking for me,” Garry said. “I can promise you that. They’re waking up for me. They’re staying there. They’re tuning in for me because I’m the superstar in Europe. I’ve got an Irish nation behind me and a Brazilian nation behind me now. And I’m excited to go out there and show that I am a superstar.”

Ian Garry’s cocky attitude is not without merit. He walks into the fight riding an impressive 12-0 run to begin his mixed martial arts career. ‘The Future’ is currently 5-0 under the UFC banner and has been seen by some as the second coming of Irish megastar Conor McGregor. Whether or not Garry rises to the heights that McGregor achieved in his heyday remains to be seen, but you can’t deny that Garry is off to a hell of a start so far.

Over the course of last weekend, McGregor attended a heavyweight boxing match between former two-time world champion, Anthony Joshua, as well as Robert Helenius in London, England, confirming his desire to fight Chandler in December, before then chasing subsequent fights with both current symbolic BMF titleholder, Justin Gaethje, and former opponent, Nate Diaz.

At the time of publication, the UFC have yet to officially confirm a date, location, or event for a planned welterweight fight between McGregor and Chandler.

Conor McGregor’s ‘biggest fan’ Ian Garry signs with Jake Paul: ‘What they have has nothing to do with me’

Despite claiming to be Conor McGregor’s biggest fan, Irish standout Ian Garry has signed a deal with Jake Paul.

Despite claiming to be Conor McGregor’s biggest fan, Irish standout Ian Garry has signed a deal with Jake Paul.

On Saturday night, ‘The Future’ will look to continue his meteoric rise up the welterweight rankings when he faces tenured 170-pounder Neil Magny as part of the promotion’s stacked UFC 292 card in Boston. Originally, Garry was scheduled to square off with Geoff Neal, but a last-minute shuffle interjected Neal into the contest.

Ahead of his highly anticipated return to the Octagon, Ian Garry appeared on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani to talk about his upcoming clash with the ‘Haitian Sensation’ at TD Garden. During their conversation, ‘The Future’ also spoke about his deal with Betr, a media company owned by staunch Conor McGregor rival, Jake Paul.

Asked how he could go into business with Jake Paul despite being a massive self-proclaimed fan of Conor McGregor, Garry said:

“I am Conor’s biggest fan. I am literally the first fighter of a generation to make it to the UFC because of Conor’s rise. What they wanna do and what they have and their personal beef has nothing to do with it. If you have two friends that don’t get on, if you have two people that know they don’t get on, you can still be friends with both. You can still do business with both, you can still talk to both, you can still go to both of their houses and have dinner. What they have has nothing to do with me. That’s called being an adult” (h/t MMA News).

Conor McGregor Training Logan Paul’s Next Opponent

Conor McGregor has had a very open rivalry with ‘The Problem Child’ and his older brother, Logan Paul. The elder Paul is currently scheduled to square off with McGregor’s friend and BJJ coach Dillon Danis at an event in England this October. Discussing the bout over the weekend, McGregor revealed that he would be coaching Danis ahead of his clash with Logan Paul. That prompted Paul to call out McGregor, challenging him to lay down $1 million on the outcome.

McGregor has yet to respond, but given Danis’ lack of skills on the feet and the Irishman’s poor turn as a coach on the current season of The Ultimate Fighter, one would advise McGregor to keep his money.
