Last month, Garry made public that he was dismissed from Team Renegade, Edwards’ gym. Garry asserted that his expulsion stemmed from perceived threats posed by his training presence, an accusation promptly dismissed by Team Renegade and Edwards’ coach.
Edwards recently revealed the original reason why Garry was kicked out of the gym. During an interview with TNT Sports, Edwards voiced- “The culture in the gym that we’re trying to build… Even though I’m a world champion, I still abide by the same rules as the amateurs. The difference with Ian was that, when he came in, he’d bring his camera with him and bring his girlfriend [wife] with him. He was late to the sessions. There was a lot going on, so the coaches and the team decided: ‘We wish you well on your journey, but your culture doesn’t fit our culture.”
