I love Chael, but try and reply to one or two comments every now and then! It makes wanna be’s try and make a good comment 👍🤠 Let’s us know that you care about your fans and NOT your ego🤠
MVP can't grapple. How difficult was it to shut down and control a guy who was a kick boxer and not well rounded, and is on the last rung of his career
Shavkat nearly lost to neal, and bums outside of ufc. Ilia also nearly lost to Jai. Doesn't mean anything. Just say you think Shavkat wins because he has crazy aura while Ian is a embarrassing soyboy
Shavkat is the most overrated fighter in the ufc. Purely based on his Aura. Nobody really cares and talks about his skills, they talk about his record, him being a nomad and his immense aura. Ian is the opposite
I would say that Shavkat is the one taking the much bigger risk here - he had the title fight secured already and could have just waited. While I get the point about Ian Garry, I don't see it as such a huge risk. If he thought that Shavkat is gonna beat Belal, he would have run into him in the title fight anyway if he would have gotten there. So why not take the opportunity when it presents itself? Also - if you lose to Shavkat and he becomes a champ then, your position isn't weakened by that loss so much. I guess in his case two more wins instead of one would be enough. Plus the UFC usually rewards taking chances and especially saving an event by stepping in on relatively short notice - both financially and when it comes to your position in the title picture for example. I would say that's relatively low risk, super high reward in Garry's case. 🙃
Costa did lose on the ultimate fighter Brazil the year Chael and Wanderlei were coaches so maybe doesn't feel like a true undefeated matchup. (I know it's not a fight that goes on your pro record)
4:10 idk if you’re just working here or if this is your actually thinking but I actually agree with you for the first time in a while whole heartedly. He didn’t need this fight right now. And he never had even said he was leagues above nomad in training outside grappling. And he’s not even pressed to fall victim to delusion thinking he’s better but he’s not. He could avoid for now and lose nothing, but him pursuing it says something for me and he’s someone who’s very mindful of his career trajectory. I don’t even enjoy the guys gimmick but he can scrap. I’m gonna go with him on this one
I hate it when Chael says "definition of insanity doing the same thing and expecting a different result". That's literally what they do in ballistics. They shoot at the target, the exact same way, until they finally hit the target.
I dont see why it is so difficult to see why Garry took this fight? He has everything to gain & nothing to lose, if he wins he gets all the props + a title shot, if he loses he only lost to the best fighter in the division in a fight no1 expects him to win anyway. Plus you can bet that his camp will be using all their previous experience training with shavkat to come up with a gameplan. Not that i think that any of this will count for anything because i dont even see this fight going to the championship rounds before Shavkat finishes him. If Garry somehow wins this fight I'll stop watching MMA 😂
Garry has been working with Olivera on his ground game . Stand up I think it’s close but Ian has a slight edge. It may be a closer fight then you think.
@Redz1991 I'm not convinced. His 3 finishes in 8 ufc bouts were all against no-names, & couldn't finish the 2 fighters who both he & Shavkat have in common (who were both finished by Shavkat). It should also the noted that Shavkat is as equally unpredictable with his striking as MVP and we all saw how Garry was scared to engage with him. My guess is that his only way to win this fight is by attempting to get top position and doing some lay & pray for a decision (exactly like against MVP). I dont see this happening in any scenario because even if he somehow manages it for 2/3 rounds I think there is absolutely 0 chance that he does it over 5 without getting caught by something sooner or later. But we'll see what happens 😉
@@CONCERNEDcitizenforevernot always, Conor has been the main event in a non title fight with a title fight as the co-main. I think there are a few other exceptions too.
There are quite a lof of exceptions actually... But if there IS a title fight, this will be the main event over everything else - no matter how "small" the title fight and how big other fights are.
I think Shavkat wins, but I could imagine the build up for Ian Garry vs Belal and the way Garry ties into Connor a bit and Belal and Khabib are friendly (I believe). But if they get drug into this and the shit talking gets real, we could have something special. It's unlikely to happen that way, but it is "possible." But Shavkat finishes Garry in 3 rounds or less. Garry might have taken the 5 round fight as a way to win by decision, if he can keep from getting finished. Or maybe Garry thinks he will finish Shavkat later in the fight.
Top 5 non champs that are draws Israel Dustin Khamzat Justin Max Charles Sean O'Malley Sean Strickland Usman Robert Whittaker Bo Nickal Kayla Harrison Then maybe Ian Garry And that's being insanely generous to Colby, MVP, Chandler, Paulo Costa, Gane, Moicano, Tony Ferguson and plenty of others that could probably go above Ian Garry
@saadkeani6604 he's like.... 3 yrs older then me.... I used to troll him & call him, "daddy" .... but Chael is my favorite & I'm tryna stay on his good side. I'm one of Chaels first subscribers.
I'm definitely stoked for this fight. I think Shavkat falls into the "big, brass balls" camp and, honestly, I'm starting to think Ian might too. Definitely looking forward to it.
The base reason Garry took this fight is the same reason those disgruntled PFL fighters are complaining about lack of booked fights. Garry is a prize fighter and makes more money the more times he fights per year.
Shavkat is too strong and durable for gary. Gary will out-strike Shavkat early with his speed but probably with little effect. I think Shavkat will get frustrated and manhandle gary for the remainder until he gets a sub. Thats my prediction
Either Ian is legit (i believe) and he's braver than the whole top 10 /or he's planning an injury to pull out just prior to the fight and adds all that clout being associated with Shavkat. But if not - what a fight! So excited! ❤
@ I ain’t got nothing bad to say about the mans fighting skills. I do enjoy watching his fights, but the guy is just so unlikable that I can’t get on the fan train.
Garry's looked beatable on a few occasions. Shavkat on the other hand looks unbeatable every time he fights. That dudes a legit problem for both the WW and MW divisions
I wouldn't want to be or volunteer to be max Holloway first opponent back from the first knock out loss of his career. Max would be determined to prove something. I would not want to be on the other end of that.
How is a guy with 8kos and 10 subs? Over rated ??? Like brooo he has a 100 percent finish rate! Garry is good and might be rakmanov hardest fight for sure
I het that chael is trying to make thisna bigger fight then it is, but garry was at killcliff for like one or two fights, shavkot i think only goes there for camp, and usman already has said they didn't really train together
Chael this is one of your best videos as it has been underplayed by the UFC. The organisation possibly thought neither one would accept the fight but they both did. I think in sparring they both got the better of each and think they can beat each other respectfully. It's the equivalent of two chess grandmasters wanting to display their skills and for the title shot.
Ian Garry isn't a top 5 non champion draw Chael. He wouldn't even be top 10. O'Malley, Volk, Oliveira, Gaethje, Poirier, Holloway, Chandler, Usman, Adesanya, Chimaev, and Whittaker are all bigger names. If we're only including guys that have never been champs than we can start talking top 5 maybe.
That's a main even fight IDK why it's not. I mean, I know that championship matches go on last, but come on, we can't have a paper view without a championship match?
I love me some Ian Garry, like some of the rest of us . But.... He knocked it out two enhancement talents. Unanimous decisioned two enhancement talents. And managed to just unanimous decision three names( Geoff neal , MVP, Neil magny) You MMA math scores on those test results add up to (good) but not elite.
Jon Jones Va Dominick Reyes was two undefeated fighters I no jon had a loss but he was never defeated or Israel vs Paulo both undefeated when they faught for issy title
But no 0 is as important as this. Reyes was in a division that had no one else as Jones was killing them all. Costa was 11-0 and still extremely raw. Garry and Shavkat are at the top and Shavkat has 18 finishes to go along with undefeated, never seen before
@@dannytran1587 LHW was a barren wasteland when Reyes challenged Jones. They were literally just giving title shots to anyone who could put together a win streak.

Bet. Agree.
No one loves a beautiful record like Chael
Lol don't disrespect us by using the MVP fight to imply he has learned to grapple well.
Exactly, mvp probably took a dive
MVP can't grapple. How difficult was it to shut down and control a guy who was a kick boxer and not well rounded, and is on the last rung of his career
😂😂😂
MVP is good at staying on his feet but Garry took him down. You can give him some credit without liking him
@@kev30631MVP used to be a white belt early in his Bellator career, but he’s a good defensive grappler now that rarely takes damage on the ground.

He is about to have the living shite beat out of him.

I guess Adesanya vs Costa never happened according to Chael
Actually this fight was promoted as 2nd time in history when 2 undefeated guys fight for a belt, but I cant recall which was the 1st one

It’s also not the definition of insanity at all.
Machida vs. Evans was for the belt, and both had 0 in the loss column
“Somebody’s 0 Has To Go” was also a storyline in Izzy vs Paulo Costa
Thank you Uncle Chael for all you do.
Shavkat is gonna destroy Garry.
Rakhmonov is Frankenstein’s monster.
He’s like gatchie.
I just fight once the gate is closed…
i'm glad Uncle Chael schooled me that 2/3's was 70%, I thought was 66.66666666666 forever and ever

🤫the 0 can stay if its a draw or no contest.
Alot of moving parts here
It doesn't work for Shavkat. In case of a draw Garry will be the first opponent not finished by Shavkat.
We've definitely had 0 vs 0 before but have we ever had 0 vs 0 with this many wins combined?
I think this should be for the interim belt, although I suspect JDM has done more than Garry to earn that spot.
Garry does seem like the type of guy to take ass whoppings for a year to exploit you in the future
The base reason Garry took this fight is the same reason those disgruntled PFL fighters are complaining about lack of booked fights. Garry is a prize fighter and makes more money the more times he fights per year.
Adesanya vs costa got advertised their fight as an O must go
Shavkat is too strong and durable for gary. Gary will out-strike Shavkat early with his speed but probably with little effect. I think Shavkat will get frustrated and manhandle gary for the remainder until he gets a sub. Thats my prediction
