The fact this kids only been training for 4 years!!!???? That's incredible in this sport. You gotta be some more athlete to make that jump into this sport. An anomaly to be honest. Especially with his skill level and understanding of the game.

[@yardy1422]

Reminds me of Dominick Reyes. Talented in every sport he played and transitioned to mma late. Then he became the dude who practically beat Jon Jones but is now a guy who gets outclassed by the best of the best. Hopefully garry can keep growing as a fighter and get himself to the top but could definitely be a similar situation to Reyes

He had over 300 amateur boxing matches growing up though. He's not a complete novice in combat sports.

That is most emotion this born and bred Dubliner has felt in years. When they put the strap around his waist and Futureman started choking up.. I'll be honest I nearly shed a tear too. Super super video. Well done to everyone who put this masterpiece together. Seems they are trying to stop Ian Garry's rise and I can understand why. If you can't beat the Dubliner in the ring then hobble his horse. Only Bruce and Joe R. realised what was happening and gave it top tier. The Americans must have taken the hiding Conor gave them worse than first thought and know they are in for the same from Ian Garry so they are trying to trip him up. Might also explain his gym betraying him Juda$ $tyle. Garry already has 'Bushingered' his first U.S. victim in the 1st round.

If possible you should do a documentary on Ian's UFC debut. I'm not sure how it works but I wonder if you could get a sponsor to cover the financial cost of the documentary. This documentary is excellent! Ian is going to be big. His management should be getting all kinds of offers from sponsors.

[@lukecohen6616]

Fucking top dawg can’t wait for the debut in ufc

[@MrDarkweaver]

Seems like a genuinely nice guy, and from what I've seen so far, including his UFC debut, he's a real talent in the welterweight division. I saw an interview where he said he wants to build his resume, and not go for the gold too quickly, which shows he is self-aware enough to realise he needs to improve before he's ready to take the likes of Kamaru Usman on. He's only 24 years old, with a really bright future ahead of him, barring injury. I hope he goes on to do really well, and take the UFC Welterweight gold at some point.

[@Teddyisoffline]

really powerful stuff

[@Jujumaddaz]

Gets kicked out of the gym uses that as motivation and wins champion… this man future is bright in the UFC when he makes it…

dont miss his downfall this Saturday. UFC 303 LETS GO MVP

[@johnboycurb9119]

This Guy showed so much potential when he just came into the scene but now in 2023 we can slowly see the dislike from fans, It Was only a matter of time before he got found out Now he's getting kicked out of Gyms from the UK to the USA,Coaches and Staff not wanting to work with him ,Has Married A self Proclaimed 'wag' whos 20 years older,Has also Took on her Ex Husbands Name 'Machado' and the Icing on the cake is that the Ex Husband now lives with them as Food Guru all playing Big Happy Family's... The guy is Total Bellend and it looks as if its only getting worse

[@michaeltrujillo4149]

I must be going crazy?!? I watched this documentary a few years ago, and I clearly remember him having a young blonde girlfriend who was in a large portion of the footage, and now instead it has only a few clips of his current wife. Am I having a Mandela Effect or something? Or is this possibly re-edited with his old flame out? Just weird.

[@tupacshakur4446]

Crazy how high level Ian is considering he’s only been training for 4 years. Jack Grant is an absolutely top tier grappler, he’s subbed numerous elite Cage Warriors alumni. Ian dominated every grappling exchange and didn’t even get touched on the feet until that knee in the 5th round. I think his wealth of amateur boxing experience gave him quite an edge when he transitioned into MMA , his understanding of lateral footwork and use of the jab is absolutely brilliant, Grant couldn’t even get near him. I can absolutely see him beating ufc caliber opponents right now, and he’s only 23, wait until he hits his prime years 28-32, he’ll be unstoppable🇮🇪🇮🇪
