Ian Garry says the UFC sent a date for a potential Michael
\nMorales fight<\/h2>\n

While naming other top welterweights in the UFC, Morales saved
\nGarry for last and had a not-so-subtle message for the
\nIrishman.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, I almost forgot about you,\u201d Morales said in his Instagram video<\/a>. \u201cF*ck you, Ian
\nGarry<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garry responded by reposting a clip of a previous interaction with
\nMorales and insisted that he is ready to fight, saying he has
\nalready accepted a date and main event slot against Morales.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve said YES,\u201d Garry wrote on Instagram. \u201cThe date is locked in.
\nMain event and You\u2019re making excuses already. UFC sent the date. I
\nDM\u2019d you myself. You make it all public, but behind the scenes I\u2019m
\ngetting a different message. The world knows I\u2019m anyone, anytime\u2026
\nHow long has it been since he\u2019s fought?\u201d<\/p>\n

Garry is looking to rebound from a unanimous decision loss to
\nMakhachev at UFC
\n330<\/a> in August. Morales, meanwhile, is unbeaten at 19-0 and has
\nwon seven straight UFC bouts, including first-round stoppages of
\nSean
\nBrady<\/a>, Gilbert
\nBurns<\/a> and Neil Magny<\/a>.
\nWith Carlos
\nPrates<\/a> seemingly the front-runner for the next title shot,
\nMorales is eyeing another win to strengthen his case for a
\nchampionship opportunity.<\/p>\n
