Follow Us
To become a professional and continue competing in the sport of MMA is nowhere near an easy task. This sport differs significantly from others on several grounds. In MMA, an athlete has to defeat his opponent physically due to which they often sustain gruesome injuries. Hence, it won’t be wrong to say that there must be an extra driving factor for an individual to become an MMA factor. Several fighters have revealed that providing for their families is the primary factor due to which they risk competing in this sport of blood and injuries.
The noted UFC icon Conor McGregor’s countrymate, Ian Machado Garry, might have taken up MMA because of his passion. But today, after making it to the premier MMA organization in this world, one of his reasons to continue in the UFC might be similar to the one mentioned above. Garry started competing professionally at 21 years of age while he was still a bachelor. But today, he is a married individual who is committed to providing for his family, comprising his wife.
Who is Ian Garry’s wife Layla Ann Lee? What’s her profession and when did they get married?
As already mentioned, the name of Garry’s wife is Layla Ann Lee. Reports say that the couple started seeing each other at the end of 2020 and have been together since the beginning of 2021. They have been together throughout the 25-year-old Irishman’s rise to the top of the Welterweight division in ‘Cage Warriors’ which brought him into the sights of the UFC authorities.
Garry met Lee during his time in ‘Cage Warriors’ only. She was a TV presenter who hosted segments for the promotion. The 25-year-old has opened up about his marriage, stating it was a “runaway marriage”. The couple held a low-key ceremony on 26 February 2022 in the city of Las Vegas. But, they had announced their engagement just before ‘The Future’s’ UFC induction in September 2021.

The ’38-year-old’ TV presenter, Lee, also shared a few photos from their Las Vegas ceremony on her Instagram. It can be agreed that she was pretty happy about her new relationship. The caption to one of her uploads read, “Mrs Layla Machado Garry”.
How many kids do the couple have?
Garry and Lee were blessed with their first son shortly after their marriage. Conor McGregor’s countrymate took to his Instagram to publicize the pleasure of becoming a father for the first time. ‘The Sun’ reported the birth of Garry’s son on 26 October 2022.
The birth of his son just about one month prior to his birthday added a significant amount of pleasure to his 25 birthday on 25 November 2022 as well.

The caption to his post clarified that his son was born on 21 October 2021. His son, Leandro Vegas Machado Garry, also adorns several snaps on both his father’s and mother’s Instagram profiles.
Garry is scheduled to fight the famed UFC Welterweight Geoff Neal at UFC 292, who is just coming off a weight miss for his UFC 291 bout against Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson. Do you think he will maintain his undefeated record and earn the maximum amount from the bout?
Layla Machado Garry’s Controversial Book
In 2012, Layla Machado Garry penned ‘How To Be a WAG,’ a satirical guide on snagging a successful athlete spouse. Coined from the British tabloid phrase ‘Wives and Girlfriends,’ it humorously delves into diets, makeup, and media engagement for athlete companions. While some speculate Layla applied these tactics on Ian Garry, the book merely satirizes the UK’s ‘WAG’ culture, offering a comical take on the lives of high-profile athletes’ partners.
