UFC 292 has a promising fight card that has fans on the edge of their seats. However, one important match-up that fans would have loved to witness that night has been canceled. UFC welterweight Ian Garry was going to face Geoff Neal in Boston, but Neal opted out just days before the fight.

Soon, news came out that the 32-year-old had to cancel his fight because of a serious case of sepsis. In a time like this, the MMA world was expecting everyone, including Garry, to showcase respect for his potential opponent. However, Ian Garry, known for his unfiltered personality, decided to go the other way. He made some demeaning comments about Neal’s situation, and many have been calling him out for that.

Things took an ugly turn when Ian Garry received a call from his management, informing him that Neal had canceled the fight. Geoff Neal withdrew from the fight “because his p*ssy hurts,” said the Irishman’s teammates. UFC superstar Sean O’Malley, who is also fighting at UFC 292, called them out for comments in his recent tweet.

“Weird for a manager to say that about @handzofsteelmma. Hope it’s nothing serious, MMA is a brutal sport,” he wrote. Recently, the head coach of Fortis MMA, where Neal trains, also had some things to say about this.
