And taking his talents to Brazil for his training camp ahead of a bout with ‘Venom’ Page, Portmarnock native, Garry accused the veteran striking ace of attempting to pay members of his entourage and camp to relay sensitive information about him to gain an advantage ahead of UFC 303 – during a heated confrontation at the press conference tonight.
“Did you and your team offer thousands of dollars, to get information in Chute Boxe, from my boys?” Ian Garry asked Michael ‘Venom’ Page. “Did you send someone a message, and offer thousands of dollars for information? And you couldn’t infiltrate the camp – you couldn’t get into it. The Chute Boxe family is too tight.”
It's ON between these two now!
