At the moment, the undefeated fighter is getting ready to square off at UFC 285 in the early prelims against Kenan Song. ‘The Future’ has on several occasions mentioned his admiration for his fellow countryman, Conor McGregor. After stepping into the UFC, Garry was able to reach out to his icon easily. Recently, the two crossed paths at the UFC 285 backstage.
