Overview

• Sean Brady says he accepted a proposed Vancouver main event with Ian Machado Garry twice and accuses Garry of dragging his feet.
• Garry rejects the accusation, telling GamesHub he has never ducked anyone and is currently negotiating with the UFC.
• He says he will fight Brady only with a public UFC declaration that the matchup is a number-one contender bout.
• The UFC has not announced Brady vs. Garry, and Brady contends Reinier de Ridder vs. Anthony Hernandez filled the Vancouver slot after Garry declined.
• The welterweight pecking order shifted when Islam Makhachev moved up to challenge Jack Della Maddalena, intensifying contenders’ push for clear title paths.
