Islam Makhachev Takes Shot at Ian Garry, Calls Him “AliExpress Fighter”

Asked if Ian Garry renews Dagestan-Ireland hype, Makhachev laughed: “Like they say, from AliExpress, right.” The jab invokes the McGregor-Nurmagomedov feud that fueled a two-nation storyline. #2 Garry is 17-1 and chasing welterweight gold after UFC Qatar. Makhachev, plotting his first defense at 170, has publicly preferred Kamaru Usman next. He also warned Garry saying: “Don’t waste your time anymore.”
