Ian Garry looks like he’s recovered from his Pneumonia, but will he ever recover from the online bashing? There’s no way to tell.

Ever since then, fans and fighters alike have taken their shots at Garry and his personal life. In fact, details about him living together with his wife’s ex-husband and other personal details started leaking out too. Now, Garry has opened up about all the hate.

Ian Garry on all the bashing he gets online

Ian Garry had to drop out of his UFC 296 bout due to a sudden health issue. Later, it was revealed that the fighter was down with Pneumonia and his young son was having similar symptoms. Since then, the internet has not done much to quash the hate.

Now, Garry has appeared on an episode of The MMA Hour Show with Dana White’s favorite journalist, Ariel Helwani. Garry opened up about all the hate he gets. He spoke about how getting flamed in his profession was regular, but going after family means crossing a line.

“. . . when people start attacking my loved ones with vicious, vile, untrue, and hurtful words to an obsessive level it boiled my blood and and it boiled my blood to an extent of which I have to be the bigger man and not respond until I have the opportunity to respond which was at UFC 296.” Garry told Helwani. “So I was pissed I still am pissed.”

Garry said how beefing with fighters is all about selling the fight. However, for him, it was upsetting that fighters and fans alike decided to take digs at his wife. Going to a personal level is certainly not something Garry can appreciate. However, it’s something he might have become familiar with even before all the Layla Machado drama.

Fans have accused ‘The Future’ of not being able to handle what he dished out against Magny who would later admit his troubles going through a custody battle. Will Ian Garry ever overcome the hate? There’s no way to tell. One can only wait until his next fight.
