Brendan Schaub has taken aim at Ian Machado Garry ahead of UFC 330, arguing that the rising contender is becoming his own biggest problem outside the cage. Schaub’s criticism followed Garry’s recent public comments, which the former fighter and analyst clearly felt were unnecessary before such a major matchup.
According to the report, Schaub was especially irritated by Garry’s stance that women should rule the world. His overall point was that Garry is talking too much at a time when the focus should be entirely on preparation and performance. In Schaub’s view, the best response now is not more debate, but a strong showing in the Octagon.
The timing adds to the attention around the comments. Next month, Garry is set to challenge Islam Makhachev for the UFC welterweight title in the main event of UFC 330. It will be Garry’s first shot at a UFC championship, making it the biggest fight of his career so far.
That context is why Schaub’s reaction has drawn notice in the MMA world. With a title bout approaching, any distraction becomes part of the story, and Schaub believes Garry would be better served by keeping the spotlight on the fight itself rather than on controversial remarks.
