“I look forward to him figuring it out and seeing in his eyes in that Octagon when he goes, ‘Oh, f**k.’” Machado Garry said. “I’ll know after the first couple of shots that he’s f**ked, and he’ll know because I’ll see it in his eyes. They say the eyes never lie, and when I hit him a couple of times – I stand there and the first thing I do is whack a jab straight in his face and his head snaps back, and then a kick follows, he’s going to go, ‘F**k, I made a mistake.’”
Another aspect of the fight invigorating Machado Garry is the fact that he is fighting on ABC instead of a pay-per-view event.

While most fighters want to get on those numbered cards because of their higher-profile nature, Machado Garry believes the chance to fight on ABC exposes him to even more people that aren’t hardcore fans, which he views as crucial to building his fan base in this early chapter of his career.
“When you go into a bar, and you see a fight on TV, and you see me doing what I do best, which is put on beautiful, violent combinations, and my striking is eye catching, you can’t help but not watch it, and you’re like, ‘Who is this kid?’ That’s what I want,” he said.
You see, despite his youth, he knows exactly what he wants and believes he is on the right path to getting every ounce of it. May 13 is another step on that path, and he only needs to look in the mirror to see the headlines: The Future is inevitable.
