“The Irish have been starved”: Conor McGregor’s compatriot Ian Garry makes bold predictions for himself as he promises “to bring UFC back to Ireland”

Conor McGregor-inspired fighter from Ireland, Ian Garry has had a relatively short career in MMA but he has been able to make his mark in that short period. The Irishman took up MMA at the age of 10 inspired by Conor McGregor and trained in Judo to become a black belt. His professional debut came at the age of 21 and he went on to win the welterweight championship at Cage warriors. He has been unbeaten in his short UFC stint with his latest victory coming at UFC 285 against Song Kenan. Kenan was knocked out by Garry in the 3rd round. The win was his 11th consecutive victory. Garry has now revealed his plans for the year.

In a recent interview with Petesy Carroll, Garry shared his plans for the next twelve months. The plans he shared may appear ambitious to a lot of fans but Garry looked confident. Garry said he wanted to bring UFC back to Ireland. He also mentioned how he wanted to be an undercard with his childhood idol.
