## Resource

Ian Machado Garry has become one of the most talked-about fighters in MMA, but according to Brendan Schaub, his biggest opponent might not be inside the Octagon. On this episode of Big Brown Breakdown, Brendan breaks down Garry's recent interviews ahead of his fight with Islam Makhachev, explaining why he believes Garry's public image and promotional strategy are hurting his career despite being one of the UFC's most talented contenders. He also discusses Garry's comments, the response from Garry's family, and why this fight could completely reshape the welterweight division. Brendan also reacts to UFC Abu Dhabi, gives his thoughts on the criticism surrounding the event, discusses Carlos Ulberg, Carlos "Enkh-Orgil" (Ankalaev discussion in transcript), Alex Pereira's heavyweight plans, Brandon Royval's claims about social media influencing UFC card placement, Herb Dean's recent criticism, Dillon Danis vs. Mike Perry, and why today's UFC champions simply aren't fighting often enough.
