Ian Garry

For me, it's hard to warm to him. Nothing wrong with a bit of confidence but, as you say, it's verging on delusion.

Doesn't help that there's a bit of a Yoko Ono element going on and it kind of irked me when he had a dig at Team KF is his post fight interview.

I'm sure the highlight going forward will be the KO, but he was losing that round and getting clipped. Consider that the two lads in the main event are in his division...... I can't see him getting anywhere near any of the lads in the Top 15 TBH.

I was high on him before the split from KF. He's big and athletic so could do well but it's really a question of his mentality and guidance going forward. He has a lot of work to do as he is so young but will be massively hyped being Irish.

I'm gutted for Chris and Tom that they weren't their the other night in his corner. They deserved to be on that stage. No need for a dig at them in the post fight, they are fantastic coaches and spent so much time making him the fighter he is.

His rise has been quick, amateur to the UFC in about 3 years. He's very young though, it really depends on how the UFC manage him. McKee was the last to come over from cage warriors and was fed to Chimaev.

Maybe moving out to America is the right move for him but the old doll has way too much influence over him. She's a near 40 year old woman with the name of a 23 year old kid tattooed on her. Fit AF though to be fair.

This is a beautiful contest to watch, the artistry of some of the engagements is lovely to watch. Poetry in motion. This is the world title fight against Jack Grant. Sit back with a cup of tea and enjoy

If you were being charitable, you could say that he ate all of those punches as a way to lull Williams into overextending. That allowed him to catch him with a counter in the manner that he ultimately did. In reality, it was probably a step up in competition from what he was used to before and shows that, despite his own hype, he is a long way off from where he thinks he is. On the plus side he seemed to be solid in the clinch and the finish was great when it came. If the UFC want to get the most out of him they would do well to give him some more inexperienced fighters for the time being.

Didn't catch up on the mma hour yet but thats good to hear that he recognizes its a massive step up. He's joined a hell of a gym though, no offence to team KF its another level.

Trained with him in swords when it was SBG swords and he seemed sound enough,gave me a couple of decent tips.

Heard from a guy that trained there that he left the gym as he was beating up lads in sparring that were far below his level but i cant confirm that.Not sure the exact reason him and KF parted ways.

He seems to getting far too ahead of himself as people have pointed out and this ridiculous Bonnie and clyde act he has going on with his bird is cringey.Its so set up and their blog vids are barf worthy.She seems to be using him to elevate her social media.If i had advice id have him ditch her as she seems to be a distraction to him.

Time will tell how he gets but from what ive seen he has a good bit to learn and plenty of room for improvement.

I was there when it was SBG so wouldnt know any of the recent events.Im training in a different gym now.I was chatting with the lad in my gym and he was telling me that GARRY had been very heavy handed and dishing out beat down on lads at a much lower level,basically being a bully.

As for the girlfriend,she seems to have gotten involved on a managerial level thinking Ian should be getting alot more focus and basically being treated as a superstar when hes far from it.

The usual external influences that steer people in the wrong way.

Seems he needs to slow down and try stay humble.

As for her kids,shes been travelling all over the world with Ian,from costa rica to the east and west coast of the US and not a sign of her kid.

Why do irish mma fighters come across as such idiots?. Garry,gallagher, and most of kavanaghs crowd even that sinead kavanagh talking about how she was going to punch a hole in cyborgs face. Our boxers totally different, generally likable characters but these mma lads, jesus. Not having a go at ayn of the lads here but, christ its enjoyable seeing alot of them getting bet.

His man love for McGregor is cringe. Chap has barely stepped in the Octagon and he's on about taking over.....it's just silly out of place confidence that is not at all genuine.

100%, there’s something totally off about her and she’s totally using him for her own personal gain, he’s obviously blinded and doesn’t see it

I see Garry is set to be on UFC 273 against a 5-1 opponent (0-1 in the UFC). Looks like they aren't rushing him anyway. Interesting as well that his first 2 fights will have both been on numbered cards.

If he's given a decent opponent he's back to cage warriors, that's the reality, he was fed a terrible lad and got beat up for most of it.

hes only gone and gotten married to her.... 🙈

Was watching a few interviews and the chap is deluded.

Talking about retiring people and how hes the next superstar ffs.

Hes a bag of cringe ,with his 'i got you' tattoo on him related to the time he sorted out a visa for her to the US...had to turn the interview as i felt nauseous.

This whole bonny and clyde thing they have going on is puke.

SUch an echo of mcgregor off him.

If he makes it ,great, but wont be too upset if and when he gets battered.

I wish he just let his fighting do the talking for him. Since leaving KF, hes ramped up the whole character to another level and although it gets him noticed, it just doesn't attract him to the fans imo.

its no coincidence that its happened ever since shes come into his life..

I think he could be in a spot of bother this weekend tbh. The lad he's fighting gave Brian Barbarena a very good go on short notice, and Barbarena is no mug at WW. For the odds Garry is riding atm, you could do worse than backing Darian Weeks, he has lots of amateur experience too and a background in boxing, something which may trouble Garry with how easily he got hit by Williams.

"Im the best talker out there, theres only 2 that can do it as good as me and thats Conor and Chael"----the guy is insane!

Around 2:30am, not before it though.

and knocked her up too!

She got the underhooks in there

Seemed content to win points. Needs more gusto and killer instinct. The ole ole ole nonsense is seriously grating. FFS. It belongs in the early 1990s
