Khamzat Chimaev warns Ian Garry against middleweight move: ‘Don’t go against the wolf, you’ll end up headless’

Unbeaten middleweight contender, Khamzat Chimaev has issued a stark warning to surging undefeated welterweight contender, Ian Garry ahead of the Dubliner’s return at UFC 310 this weekend — claiming he should think twice before committing to a floated 185lbs move in the future.

Garry, who currently holds the number seven rank at the welterweight limit, makes his comeback this weekend in a short-notice clash with former Kill Cliff FC partner, Shavkat Rakhmonov — attempting to become the first fighter to solve the Uzbekistani puzzle in a five round title eliminator co-headliner.

As for Chimaev, the unbeaten number three rated middleweight contender, appears to have earned himself a crack at the divisional title in his next outing — most recently stopping former divisional champion, Robert Whittaker with a ghastly face crank submission win at UFC 308 back in October in his first outing in over a year.
