  "account": "UFC president Dana White held another lengthy criticism session with Ian Machado Garry following his loss in the main event of UFC 330. Despite Machado Garry's impressive performance leading up to the fifth round, White believed the Irish fighter should have employed a more aggressive strategy to secure the UFC welterweight title against Islam Makhachev. The fight ended in a competitive unanimous decision, but White insisted that Machado Garry should have taken a more assertive approach, especially in the fifth round when he was scoring poorly on the judges' cards. One week later, at UFC Sacramento, White once again lambasted Machado Garry for his performance. White emphasized that Machado Garry had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win the title and should have fought for it until the end of the fifth round. He warned that if Machado Garry doesn't seize the chance to finish a legendary opponent like Makhachev, he might miss that opportunity for good. White concluded by reminding Machado Garry that he only had five minutes to try and finish the greatest welterweight of all time, and that it was now up to him to prove his worth by defeating other top contenders.",
