Overview
- Garry defeated former welterweight champion Belal Muhammad by unanimous decision at UFC Qatar, stuffing all seven takedown attempts and controlling the striking exchanges.
- In his post-fight interview, Garry demanded the first defense from new welterweight champion Islam Makhachev, arguing his win merits the next title shot.
- Backstage video shows middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev shoving Garry during a heated exchange as security stepped in; no punches were thrown.
- Garry condemned the shove as childish and labeled it “little d*ck energy,” while Chimaev claimed Garry had touched or punched his back and accused him of “trying to be Conor McGregor.”
- Chimaev said he is headed for a foot operation and expects to be out until around April 2026, reducing the likelihood of any immediate in-cage follow-up to the incident.
