Conor McGregor motivated his countryman Ian Garry prior to his fight

It is quite understandable that Conor McGregor, being the face of UFC, has motivated a lot of youth to join MMA. One such fighter is also currently signed to the UFC. ‘Mystic Mac’s countrymate, Ian Garry, currently holds an undefeated record in MMA standing at 11-0. ‘Mystic Mac’, a well-wisher of Garry provided him with some online motivation prior to his fight.

McGregor shared the Instagram post of ‘mma.pros.pick’ as his own story. He also penned, along with a mention of Garry as well. McGregor’s friend has been matched up against Daniel Rodrigues who holds a current record of 17-3 for a Welterweight bout on UFC on ABC 4.

This might be taken as a gesture, signifying McGregor’s love for his motherland. Apart from dawning the Irish culture proudly, he also supports the people from his own country.

In a recent interview with ‘MMA Fighting’, Covington was asked about the outcome of a bout between him and ‘The Last Stylebender. Chaos confidently replied, “I think that’s a huge fight and it’s a fight of high magnitude. I like the matchup, to be honest, I don’t think he can hang with me. I think I take him down, I beat him from pillar to post and I just break him inside that Octagon.”

This brash nature of Covington has been witnessed numerous times throughout his career. Although, many times things don’t go according to his words. Do you think ‘Chaos’ will be able to back his words if he fights Adesanya at some point in the future?
