Ian Garry has been one of the most promising fighters in the UFC. From the day of his debut, he has been looking forward to replicating what Conor McGregor did for UFC. In his pursuit of becoming a champ, he has defeated numerous opponents and is still undefeated. Just like his mentor Conor McGregor, Garry is also looking to establish his name in the annals of UFC. The Irishman is known as ‘The Future,’ which is justified by his exceptional skills.

Garry’s recent match with Neil Magny on the sidelines of Aljamain Sterling vs. Sean O’Malley’s match was a class attempt by the youngster to let the world of UFC know about his existence.

The former UFC fighter, Chael Sonnen, is known to provide on-point and well-informed opinions on fighters, as well as their skills. In a recent video, Sonnen delved into the topic of the ability of Ian Garry as a fighter. Sonnen praised Garry for his exceptional skillset beyond his fighting prowess. He further highlights Garry’s ability to build up hype in his matches.

While having the conversation, Sonnen emphasized that Ian Garry is his own unique personality and not a mirror image of his mentor, Conor McGregor. He further added that he has the skillset to build up the matches. Chael Sonnen said, “Ian Gary has a skill set, and it’s not just go out there and punch and kick, and then say something that Conor McGregor once said in a microphone to Joe Rogan. It’s not just that; he knows how to build things up. He knows how to go into a fight and build things up. I was in Boston for his last fight. He did some really incredible things. He came to a press conference, and he broke bad on Neil Magny. Saw an opportunity, went with it, kept a straight face as though he really meant it, and believed some of these things. It was very viable.”
