Dana White doubles down on criticism of Ian Machado Garry's chumminess in UFC 330 loss
A few weeks removed from UFC 330, Dana White is still not happy with Ian Machado Garry's loss to Islam Makhahcev.
A week after UFC 330, UFC President Dana White remains critical of Ian Machado Garry's behavior in his loss to Islam Makhachev. During the event, Machado Garry (17-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Makhachev (29-1 MMA, 18-1 UFC) in his UFC welterweight title shot. White expressed dissatisfaction with Garry's cordial attitude throughout the fight, which included hugging and complimenting Makhachev – the fighter he was trying to unseat from the title.
White's concerns stemmed from the possibility that Machado Garry might never have another chance to face Makhachev, a potential future Hall of Famer. White emphasized that every second of the fight matters, warning Machado Garry against wasting time praising his opponent. White also suggested that Machado Garry's lack of "killer instinct" may impact his future fighting career, but he expressed no ill will towards the fighter, acknowledging his good nature.
