Khamzat Chimaev sends vicious warning to ‘skinny kid’ Ian Machado Garry following his recent comments
This Saturday, Ian Machado Garry takes on fellow undefeated phenom Shavkat Rakhmonov in a huge co-main event at UFC 310 and his words ahead of the fight have ruffled Khamzat Chimaev's feathers.
Unfortunately for Shavkat Rakhmonov, his original UFC 310 main event bout against welterweight champion Belal Muhammad was canceled after 'Remember The Name' withdrew due to a broken toe.
Instead of removing him from the card entirely, the promotion has rebooked 'The Nomad' against fellow undefeated welterweight contender, Ian Machado Garry.

Ian Machado Garry outlines his plan for his next few fights
Tensions are growing between 'The Future' and Rakhmonov, with the two previously training against each other at Kill Cliff before the Irishman ventured elsewhere.
Garry claimed that the sparring was mutually beneficial and that nothing could be gained from it, but Rakhmonov recently claimed that he submitted Garry several times.
With this fight being a number one contender in the welterweight division, the 27-year-old Irishman outlined his plan for his next few fights, which has ruffled a few feathers.
“I'm a young boy who dreamed of being here, who wanted to see my face on billboards, who wanted to do shows against the scariest people in the world. I've said to you before, my ideal scenario is that I fight, beat Shavkat and win the title,” Garry told Ariel Helwani.
“Then I'll move up to middleweight and fight Khamzat (Chimaev). I'll be able to win that belt too. I'm not afraid of any man,” Garry continued.
Khamzat Chimaev warns 'skinny boy' Ian Machado Garry
However, Garry's pre-fight comments have ruffled the feathers of Khamzat Chimaev, who is hopeful of fighting for the middleweight title in his next outing.
Earlier this week, Chimaev hinted online that a fight against Dricus Du Plessis is underway and could happen in America after he posted an image of Donald Trump.
'Borz' was always considered a potential double champion when he first started his career at welterweight, but has now taken his talents to 185 pounds.
“You're too skinny a boy, don't go near the Wolf's teeth or you'll end up headless,” Chimaev responded to Garry after outlining his recent plan.

After traveling the world to train at various gyms, 'The Future' seems to have found a home at Chute Box in Brazil, and earlier this week he announced that former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira will be in his corner for UFC 310.
Before Garry vs. Chimaev can become a reality, Garry must overcome Rakhmonov's feat and then win the welterweight title from Muhammad, and similarly, Chimaev must dethrone Du Plessis.
