Belal Muhammad uses AI to respond to Ian Machado Garry who accused him of avoiding fight
Machado Garry (16-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) is continuing to push for the Muhammad fight, and accused the former UFC welterweight champion of ducking him. Machado Garry is ready to fight as soon as next month at UFC 319 in Muhammad's home city of Chicago.
"Belal Muhammad is continuing to call out Kamaru Usman," Garry said in an Instagram video. "Kamaru Usman has said himself that he's not fighting any time soon so, why does he keep calling him out? Because he's avoiding me. He's now started to mention Sean Brady's name again – a man who he's already knocked out.
"Imagine calling out someone you've already knocked out? Here's the truth, had Belal beat JDM, he would be fighting me in his hometown of Chicago. So, do the right thing. Don't let your hometown down and accept the fight in Chicago. I'll see you soon."
Muhammad (24-4 MMA, 15-4 UFC) fired back at Machado Garry in slightly more creative fashion, with the caption, "See you in November, dork."
"Ian Garry out here trying to do Conor cosplay with Dollar Tree trash talk," Muhammad responded on his Instagram. "Bro, your lines hit softer than your jab. You sound like a teenager who just discovered McGregor highlight reels. You want to outbox me? Try out-talking me first without embarrassing yourself. Until then, go back to rehearsing in the mirror. Maybe one day, your trash talk will be as sharp as your barbers fade."

UFC free fight: Relive Max Holloway's thrilling KO of 'The Korean Zombie'
In back-to-back fights, former featherweight champion Max Holloway put together two of the most incredible knockouts in UFC history. Everyone remembers the Knockout of the Year moment against Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 for the BMF title, but Holloway (26-8 MMA, 22-8 UFC) put an equally-impressive knockout on record in the fight prior against Chan Sung Jung. In the main event of UFC Fight Night 255 in Singapore, Holloway put away "The Korean Zombie" with a vicious right hook in the third round. It was years before Holloway picked up a clean stoppage in the heat of battle. In 2017, Holloway finished former champion Jose Aldo for the second time at UFC 218. In the following fight, a doctor called for the stop of Holloway's fight against Brian Ortega to record his third title defense. From there, Holloway went eight fights without recording a stoppage, going 4-4 in that stretch, including a bid for the interim lightweight title. Holloway found his finishing touch again against "The Korean Zombie." It was an intense firefight that earned Fight of the Night honors. Jung came forward repeatedly, leading to hard-hitting exchanges. Holloway connected with a right hook 23 seconds into the third round, ending the fight with a walkoff knockout. Holloway returns to action in the main event of UFC 318 against Dustin Poirier for the BMF title. The fight takes place on July 19 at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. Before that fight, relive one of Holloway's most exciting finishes in the video above.

‘Money' Challenges Chandler To A Loser-Retires Fight
Photo byfor Fanatics Just over a week has passed since former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight title challenger Renato Moicano suffered a unanimous decision loss to Beneil Dariush at UFC 317, but he's already targeting his next opponent: fellow 155-pound title challenger Michael Chandler. Advertisement 'Man, I'll be completely honest with you, the oldest guy in the division, brother. 'Michael Chandler,' Moicano said when asked who he wants to fight next. 'I think that fight makes a lot of sense, and there isn't a better time. I've been talking shit for about Michael Chander for so long and if I lose to him, I'll have to kill myself.' Suicide is clearly an extreme statement, so Moicano's co-host proposed an alternative: a loser-retires fight (sound familiar?). 'Money' loved the idea. '100%,' Moicano said. 'Sign the contract.' From a rankings perspective, a Moicano-Chandler bout aligns well, with Moicano at No. 12 and Chandler at No. 13, despite some fighters calling for Chandler's removal from the rankings. The matchup also carries extra intrigue, as the two train at rival Florida gyms: American Top Team and Kill Cliff FC. Advertisement Moicano (20-7-1) is now on his first two-fight losing streak since transitioning to Lightweight. His previous bout saw him face Islam Makhachev on just one day's notice, resulting in a first round submission loss (watch highlights). Chandler (23-10) is on a three-fight losing skid, most recently getting stopped in the third by Paddy Pimblett via TKO (watch highlights). More from
