UFC Lightweight Challenges Ryan Garcia to Gain Weight & Step into MMA After Joshua-Ngannou Remarks

The CSS code for the .vidazoo-player-container specifies the width and height properties, ensuring that the player takes up the full width of the container and maintains a 16:9 aspect ratio. The height is calculated using a formula that factors in specific pixel values, with the background color set to black. A media query adjusts the dimensions and margins for screens with a maximum width of 768 pixels, changing the height to be a function of the viewport width and adding margins to the top and bottom.

Terrance McKinney has expressed his readiness to face Ryan Garcia if he decides to transition from boxing to the UFC. This follows a trend where boxers and MMA fighters have been stepping into each other’s sports to compete. Francis Ngannou, a former UFC champion, recently returned to the boxing ring but faced a tough defeat against Anthony Joshua, being knocked down three times and stopped in the second round.

The fight sparked a lot of discussions on social media, particularly among boxers. Ryan Garcia, who is preparing for his own boxing match against Devin Haney, took to social media to warn MMA fighters against stepping into the boxing ring. He suggested that boxers would have an easier time transitioning to MMA and ended his message with a show of respect for Ngannou’s bravery, while congratulating Joshua on his victory.

In response to Garcia’s comments, lightweight fighter Terrance McKinney challenged him to try his hand at MMA by fighting him in the UFC. McKinney’s invitation implies that it would be a suitable entry-level fight for Garcia, as he is not currently ranked. The exchange between the two athletes highlights the ongoing debate about the skill sets required for boxing versus MMA and whether athletes from one sport can successfully cross over to the other.

Ryan Garcia has been vocal about his interest in competing in MMA, particularly in the UFC. He claims to have a natural talent for wrestling and is confident in his ability to transition to the sport. During an interview on The MMA Hour, Garcia boasted about his wrestling skills and conditioning, even claiming that he could defeat MMA fighter ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley. His confidence suggests that he is serious about making the move to MMA, provided he secures a victory in his upcoming boxing match.
