Ian Garry accuses Michael Morales of avoiding him, then they agree to fight

Morales and Ian Garry
appear to have reached an agreement.
Garry came up short in his maiden title bid in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship at UFC
330, losing to Islam
Makhachev via decision. The Irishman is now looking to re-enter
the title mix by beating unbeaten welterweight Morales, who's open
to the matchup.
Michael Morales accepts Ian Garry's Nov. 28 proposal for a UFC
fight in Saudi Arabia
Morales has shared a screenshot of his DMs with Garry wherein they
agree to fight in November. The latter initially questioned the
former's availability claims, speculating that he's avoiding the
matchup.
“I wanna fight before the end of the year and I'm being told you're
not available,†Garry wrote. “You were able to be the back up for
the world title fight but not able to take a fight with me now?
You've also asked to be a back up for the next title fight, but
still not available to fight with me? Looks like someone is
avoiding me. Talk all that sh*t online then don't agree to fight?
What's going on here?â€
Morales responded by making his position clear:
“My son, what are you talking about? I fight whenever you want I
just want a contract and that's it I'll kick your *ss.â€
Garry responded:
“Saudi, Nov. 28. Let's do it.â€
Morales accepted, but it remains to be seen whether the UFC will
put the matchup together. Carlos
Prates is widely considered the next challenger to Makhachev's
title, making Garry vs. Morales a pivotal title eliminator.
