Machado Garry during his dominant win over Neil Magny in August <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very irritating, because I\u2019m a young fighter who wants to be the best in the world, who wants to train with the best in the world, and Renegade is the best gym in the UK. I went there to learn from the guys around Birmingham and who have essentially proven that it\u2019s the best gym in the UK; I didn\u2019t go there to train with Leon, I went there to train with that gym, because they\u2019re amazing.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I\u2019m being stopped from going to a gym, because I might potentially fight Leon in 18 months. My attitude is: If that\u2019s the case, why not have this conversation in six months? <\/p>\n
\u201cI love the guys at Renegade. They\u2019re really nice and welcoming, I rang them beforehand to make sure everything was good. Then, after the second day I was there, they were like: \u2018Oh, we can\u2019t have you back, Leon and some of his team don\u2019t want this.\u2019 <\/p>\n
\u201cSo, when we talk about conflict, that\u2019s it. There\u2019s a piece for you to write, for sure!\u201d<\/p>\n
The Independent<\/em> has contacted Edwards, Lovell and Team Renegade for comment.<\/p>\n Machado Garry last fought in August, beating Neil Magny via unanimous decision. The \u201cFuture\u201d is next in action at UFC 296 in December, facing teammate Luque. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, Edwards last fought in March, outpointing Kamaru Usman to retain the welterweight title that he took from his old rival with a head-kick knockout last August. The Birmingham fighter, 32, is due to headline UFC 296, defending his belt against former interim champion Colby Covington.<\/p>\n Watch UFC 296 live on TNT Sports in the UK and Ireland, on Saturday 16 December.<\/em><\/p>\n
