MMA News Deadline: UFC Kansas City Fallout, Doricus Duplesis silences trolls, etc.

UFC Kansas City didn’t lack the story. Ian MachadoGarry won, Anthony Smith retired, and some names have taken advantage of the opportunity to impress outside the comfort zone of the pinnacle.

Garry has returned to undefeated Shabkat Rakmonov from a competitive loss, but not everyone was impressed by how he pulled away from the victory. After coming strong in the first three rounds and controlling his actions against the struggling Carlos Award, “Future” ran into trouble at the end of round four.

With 30 seconds left, Garry was hanging for the victory – or Plets let him off the hook and kept his championship hope alive. According to UFC CEO Dana White, the promotion officially designates Garry as a backup for the UFC 315 Welterweight title main event between Champion Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena. However, if the reader’s response is any indication, fans are not yet on sale at Garry, who is reaching for money.
