'The Future' looks ahead after he returned to the winning column in Kansas City on Saturday evening.
Despite a late rally from his opponent, Ian Machado Garry Carlos Prates beat five rounds to bounce back from losing his undefeated record previous time out.
Machado Garry and Prates shared a respectful meeting backstage, but he has already chosen his next few movements for the Irishman.
The 27-year-old has always visualized the steps that lie for him and although they did not bear fruit for him at UFC 310 last December, he has big goals in mind after stopping the momentum of 'The Nightmare'.
Dana White has already confirmed that Machado Garry will be the backup for UFC 315 in a few weeks, but this is just the start of his plan to dominate the sport.
Ian Machado Garry mentions Islam Makhachev in his three fighting plan
In his press conference after the fight at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Ian Machado Garry outlined his three fighting plan after beating Carlos Prates via a unanimous decision.
Before April 26, the Irishman spoke about how he felt that a victory would bring him back to the title and the belt of Welterweight is the first profession he wants to check.
Machado Garry will be present at UFC 315 in Montreal, where Belal Muhammad opposite Jack della Maddalena in the first title defense of the champion.
'The future' said he believes that his next step will be to face Muhammad once 'will remember the name' will come up to and including 10 May with the 170-pound gold that is still wrapped around his waist.
“You know that I love plans, you know? You know that I have visions in my mind, let me tell you what the next step is. I am going to fight the winner, I believe it is an eagle and that is nothing against Jack, I just believe that stylistically eagle has what needs to get this fight and quite convincing.
The most important event of UFC 315 also has a number of interesting interests for the lightweight division where Islam Makhachev has openly spoken about wanting to try to try to become a two -way champion.
Mohammed who is at the top is currently causing some complications, but Machado Garry believes that this will succeed in his advantage, so that he can accept the best active hunter in the sport today.
“Then, when Belal does not have the belt, there is a certain pound-for-pound number one who wants to come up and his name is Islam Makhachev. I have nothing but love and respect for that man and his style, it would be an honor to share the octagon with him. I would like to go outside and prove to him in my first title defense that I am the pond-for-pond number” “
After beating two champions in back-to-back fights, the surname on the Hitlist of Machado Garry is the only opponent ever defeated.
Shavkat Rakhmonov won a unanimous decision in the Co-Main event of UFC 310 after a close fight and it seems likely that their paths will cross again in the future.
“I defeated him, I take that status, I win my first title defense, and then Shavkat gets the Rematch and I go outside and I will dismantle and prove that man that he has never won that fight and that is my next three-tonger plan. That's how I see it going and I don't want that other way.”
There is a small problem with the three-fighting plan from Ian Machado Garry
The idea to see Islam Makhachev are going up to see a champion of good weight that is not Belal Muhammad and Ian Machado Garry is opposite Shavkat Rakhmonov in a Rematch, both of which seem fairly likely at some point.
Where the plan of the Irishman can fall apart, he is the next chance of the one who comes at the top of the UFC 315 main event.
Makhakevet not only makes good attention, Shavkat Rakhmonov would become the challenger until he could not make the date and given that he has overcome Machado Garry, he is still higher in the pecking order.
There is also people like Sean Brady, who is currently ranked as the #1 continent, while Joaquin Buckley will also enter the mix if he can pass Kamaru Usman if they meet in Atlanta.
Machado Garry may have to expand his plan to Vier-Vechts, so that he can prove himself if the number one competitions first by beating Brady or Buckley.
