‘Looking to Beat the S**t Out of People’- UFC’s New Found Hype Ian Garry Ready to Destroy the Entire Division

Ian Garry announced his arrival in the UFC in style. The Irish prospect made his debut at UFC 268 against Jordan Williams and came out of the gates slowly. Initially, it seemed as though his opponent pressured him. However, ‘The Future’ started getting into the fight as it progressed.

After landing a few strikes, ‘The Future’ caught Williams with a beautiful right hook just before the end of the first round.

Many look at Garry as the second coming of another Irish MMA legend, Conor McGregor. In the post-fight interview after his win over Williams, he clarified that he has come to take over the division. According to Garry, his coming to the UFC is the takeover part 2.

In a recent conversation with UFC’s Megan Olivi, he talked about what his approach will be like. Garry didn’t hold back as he said, “I’m looking to beat the s**t out of people. I wanna fight three times a year every year and I wanna grow and I wanna beat people up and let them know that I’m here and I’m here to take over. I’m gonna take every single guy that I can on my rise to the top.”

The Irishman is currently undefeated in his professional career and has an 8-0 record. He would look to enter the octagon again at the earliest to raise his stock quickly. Garry seems to have garnered a lot of fans from his first performance. Hence, if he gets two or three impressive wins under his belt, a top fight might not be far from him.

Michael Chandler thinks Ian Garry will be a future world champion

The UFC prospect has received high praise from one of the top fighters in the world. ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler believes Garry will become a world champion in the future. The Irishman trains at Sanford MMA, the same gym as Chandler, and, during a conversation with Megan Olivi, the lightweight contender talked about Garry.

He said, “We had a couple of conversations and then I was like, okay, obviously the talent is there, you know? His body type, his confidence in himself, the part of the world that he comes from – he’s a young, brash Irishman who does not lack confidence in any area of his life.”

“It’s just awesome to see these guys come in, and even Ian himself. I think his game is on a trajectory to the moon. I think he will be world champion in the next couple of years.”
