However, contrary to Garry’s explanation, Leon Edwards dismissed his claims in an interview with TNT Sports. He stated, “The difference with Ian was that, when he came in, he’d bring his camera with him and bring his girlfriend [wife] with him. He was late to the sessions.”

‘Rocky’ also emphasized that the decision was made collectively by the gym members, not solely influenced by his preferences as he stated, “…the coaches and the team decided: ‘We wish you well on your journey, but your culture doesn’t fit our culture.’”
