Ian Machado Garry fought a disciplined, intelligent fight against Islam Makhachev, but Chael Sonnen was left questioning something that had nothing to do with Ian’s skills.
From the pep talks during the fight to the respect Ian showed Islam afterward, Chael believes Garry seemed too concerned with what Islam thought of him.
In a world title fight, should earning your opponent’s respect matter, or should the only thing that matters be taking his championship?
Chael breaks down what Ian did well, why Islam’s composure remains so impressive, and why Garry may eventually look back on this fight and wish he had believed in himself a little more.
