In the world of combat sports and entertainment, alliances, and collaborations often make for surprising headlines. The latest buzz revolves around Irish UFC sensation Ian Garry. The Irishman has just announced his partnership with the controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul‘s Betr media company.

This recent move has ignited a firestorm of reactions from fans and followers across the globe. Hailing from the same nation as Conor McGregor, Ian Garry has been promoted as the potential heir to the Irish MMA throne. Even comparisons between Garry and McGregor have been rampant, as both fighters exhibit a similar brash confidence and penchant for electrifying performances.

However, the news of Garry’s collaboration with Jake Paul’s Betr media company hasn’t sat right with fans and left them divided.

Ian Garry’s time to take over

Ian Garry took to social media to declare his new collaboration. “Thrilled to announce I’m joining the @Betr and @Betrcombat family,” he posted, igniting a storm of speculation and emotion among fans. Garry’s words, “Time to take over the entire industry,” suggest a bold and ambitious journey ahead.

Upon the news announcement, fans started voicing their opinions on Garry’s decision, leading to a diverse spectrum of reactions that encompass both disappointment and encouragement.

One fan pointedly remarked, “Bro said he’s the next Conor; this more than anything has confirmed he’s a nobody.” The sentiment here appears to be a mix of skepticism towards Garry’s aspirations and loyalty to McGregor’s legacy, who has an ongoing feud with Betr Media’s Jake Paul.

Garry’s move navigates Paul-McGregor drama

The backdrop of this collaboration is not without its drama. Jake Paul, whose meteoric rise in the world of boxing has drawn both praise and skepticism, has been no stranger to feuds. He has an ongoing banter with UFC star athlete Conor McGregor. The heated exchanges between the two on Twitter have grabbed headlines, with McGregor often belittling Paul’s accomplishments in the squared circle.

In return, Paul has not held back, even suggesting that McGregor needs rehab.

A fan, perhaps more empathetic to Garry’s personal and career decisions, shared, “I understand you gotta provide for your family, but this is A fat L.” This reflects the internal conflict fans often experience when their idols take steps that may not align with their expectations.

Following are a few reactions from fans:

• Conor ain’t gonna like this one
• And now I’m not a fan anymore. Jake Paul a scrub.
• Crazy bro Jake is doing it big
• betr signing all my fav fighters this keeps getting BETR
• IAN BRO NOOO THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR UR CAREER
• Bro why you could of done so much better then this crap

This partnership news has arrived just days before a pivotal moment in Ian Garry’s MMA journey. Amidst the buzz, the welterweight fighter gears up for a formidable challenge, facing Neil Magny. It is a short-notice fight scheduled for UFC 292 this Saturday.
