Ian Machado Garry believes Khamzat Chimaev's "childish energy" emerged during a backstage interaction at UFC Qatar.

IAN MACHADO GARRY has vowed to punch his ticket to a welterweight title shot with a retirement-contemplating beatdown of Belal Muhammad.

“I’m gonna f—k you up b—ch,” said Chimaev. “That’s childish,” responded Garry. “You’re meant to be a champion in this sport.”
