Ian Garry has been on blast recently after his beef with Sean Strickland. Unfortunately, “Machado” seems to have been caught under the spotlight again after his past opponent, Neil Magny came out revealing that he was facing problems after Garry’s comments before their fight.

In the buildup to the fight, Magny and Garry went back and forth trash-talking. Magny stated that he would put down a father-like beatdown on Ian Garry. Garry responded by calling him a child abuser, which unfortunately caused Neil Magny to go through a custody battle for his kids after the fight.

There were literally screenshots being taken of headlines saying that I’m a child abuser and I’d do this to my kids.”

He then proceeded to add, “There were screenshots being taken and put into apps and things like that would be admissible in court where I’m literally fighting for custody of my children.”
