“If It Was Masvidal or Conor, That Man Will Woke Up in the Hospital”: “Casual” Fan Pushing for a Physical Scuffle With UFC Star Ian Garry Gets MMA Fans Angry

Amidst the euphoria of Jon Jones‘ much-anticipated comeback, another young fighter shone on the UFC 285 card. Ian Garry, also known as ‘The Future’, delivered a dominant performance against Kenan Song, overcoming early adversity to finish his opponent in the third round. Garry’s unblemished record remained intact, earning him a well-deserved USD 50k performance bonus and the admiration of fans and fellow fighters alike.

However, Garry’s victory celebrations were briefly marred by an ill-advised fan who approached the Irish fighter. Thankfully, Garry was in a good mood and refrained from teaching the overzealous spectator a lesson. As news of the incident spread on social media, fans praised Garry for his composure, with many highlighting the foolishness of challenging an MMA fighter.

While Ian Garry may have shown restraint outside the octagon, inside it is a different story.

The welterweight division better be prepared for ‘The Future’

‘The Future’ has made it clear that he’s not content with just being another high-level competitor. Instead, he’s aiming for championship success and intends to show no mercy to his future opponents. In an Instagram post shortly after his win at UFC 285, Garry sent a bone-chilling message to the rest of the welterweight division.

He shared a picture of his battered opponent, Kenan Song, citing it as an example of the kind of destruction he plans to unleash on his opponents. Garry wrote, “When you sign a contract against me, I take it personally. My mission is to let you know you made a bad decision. 谢谢”

Garry’s ambition and drive are undeniable, and his willingness to push himself to the limit will undoubtedly serve him well in the UFC. His sights are set high, and he’s poised to make a significant impact in the world of MMA. Whether he can translate his ambitions into reality and claim, the championship belt remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Ian Garry is a fighter to watch in the UFC.
