Ian Garry claims the game is good enough to be ranked below.
Gary has been calling out Colby Covington for quite some time, having avoided a fight thus far. Garry has now given up any hope of fighting ‘Chaos’, although he insists the Irishman will be sidelined until September due to injury. Garry also claims that he has no other option to fight a higher ranked opponent when everyone above him is either injured or already fighting elsewhere.
However, wanting to remain active, ‘The Future’ has shifted its focus to Michael Page. UFC returning to Manchester makes sense given the potential fights, but Garry has insisted on attending UFC 303 on June 29th, when Conor McGregor returns to action against Michael Chandler. There is.
“I said yes. I said yes to that name.” He and his coaches are making a decision because they feel he’s a little heavy, a little heavy to make weight after seven weeks, but I said yes.” Garry said he will compete against Page. spoke to talkSPORT about the possibility.
According to Garry, the name “Venom” isn’t the only name he’s been offered and accepted recently. The undefeated prospect claims he has accepted an offer to fight Covington, Sean Brady, and Joaquin Buckley and Nursulton Ruzhiboev, who will co-headline the winner of last week’s UFC on ESPN 56.
“So much has happened at this point that I’ve lost count,” Garry said. “I feel like I looked up eight or nine names. And it’s like, ‘No, I don’t want that fight.’ I’m not interested. He says the UFC isn’t interested. “They offered me Colby. I said yes to MVP. I said yes to Sean Brady.I said yes, I don’t even know his name, Uzbek guy [Nursulton Ruziboev] if he had won [against Joaquin Buckley]. I said yes to Joaquin Buckley. I said yes to everyone who came along. That’s what I do and I haven’t done anything different since joining the UFC. I say yes. I said, “What date?” where? So, when? ”
Gary is currently unbeaten in seven fights in the UFC, fresh off a split decision win over veteran Jeff Neal at UFC 298 in February. Meanwhile, Page made his promotional debut with a unanimous decision win over Kevin Holland at UFC 299 in March.
Although Garry was able to maintain a perfect record against Neil, the fight was considered somewhat lackluster by many. The 26-year-old Irishman has a different assessment of his performance.
“It’s clinical. Jeff Neal is a dog, right? In my opinion, he’s the best pound-for-pound hitter in this division,” Garry said. “He has the most power in his hands. And when you fight an opponent like him who relies solely on the power of one punch boom, you have to give him all the respect he deserves. He’s big, strong. But he’s not as fast as me, he’s not as smart as me, my footwork in that match was incredible, shocking him and freezing me. A combination of, knees to stretch him, elbows, knee and elbow combinations, cracking him with that knee and hopefully slicing him with that elbow. I believe I was completely dominating that fight. Masu.”
