Former welterweight title challenger and middleweight contender, Darren Till has questioned the legitimacy of unbeaten striker, Ian Garry’s battle with pneumonia – resulting in his withdrawal from a scheduled fight with Vicente Luque at UFC 296 tonight, questioning a recent interview conducted with the Dubliner.

Till, an alum of the UFC, has yet to return to active competition since he featured at UFC 282 back in December of last year, suffering his third consecutive loss in the form of a third round neck crank submission loss to incoming title challenger and UFC 297 headliner, Dricus du Plessis.

As for Garry, the undefeated number ten ranked welterweight challenger, was scheduled to feature on the main card of UFC 296 tonight – taking on Brazilian-American, Luque in a high-stakes welterweight clash.

However, late Wednesday night, reports confirmed by Dana White revealed that flu-like symptoms eventually resulted in pneumonia, with Garry pulled from the bout as a result.

Addressing his exit from the clash, Portmarnock striker, Garry claimed he could “barely breathe” at the moment as he deals with the illness, before assuring fans that he would return to the Octagon as soon as possible.

“How are we, I can barely breathe,” Ian Garry told TNT Sports. “It’s upsetting, it’s irritating, it’s annoying. ‘Cause you guys know I love to fight more than anything. And I’ve never pulled out of a fight, I’ve never had to be in this situation, but here we are. And we’ll deal with it the way we deal with everything: the best in the world.”

“I mean, the truth is – I’ve got what I’ve got, we’ll deal with it,” Ian Garry explained. “And then we’ll get back on the horse and then we’ll fight. …But yeah, I just wanna let you guys know, that I’m good – and I’m coming for everybody with a full head of steam.”

However, as far as Liverpool striker, Till is concerned, he’s unsure if Garry’s illness is legitimate – and futhermore, his current condition.

“I’m not buying this, I’ll be honest,” Darren Till tweeted in response to Ian Garry’s interview.

Forced out of his return to the Octagon this weekend at UFC 296, undefeated welterweight contender, Ian Garry has claimed he can “barely breathe” after he was diagnosed with pneumonia ahead of his return, ruling him from a fight with perennial contender, Vicente Luque.

Garry, the current number ten ranked welterweight contender, was slated to feature on the main card of UFC 296 this weekend against Brazilian-American challenger, Luque, however, has since been ruled from the bout.

Failing to appear at media day obligations on Wednesday earlier this week, Garry, 26, was confirmed as out of his fight with Luque by promotional president, Dana White, who revealed the Portmarnock native was dealing with flu-like symptoms, which later developed into pneumonia.

Voicing his displeasure at his removal from the bout, former Team KF staple, Garry claimed it was UFC medical staff and doctor’s which forced his withdrawal from a fight with training partner, Luque, not a decision he had made himself.

Former two-division championship challenger, Chael Sonnen has labelled the public relation team utilized by undefeated welterweight contender, Ian Garry as “terrible” – amid the Dubliner’s sudden withdrawal from his slated UFC 296 return against Vicente Luque this weekend.

Garry, the current number ten ranked welterweight challenger, has been sidelined since he featured on the main card of UFC 292 back in August, most recently improved to 13-0 as a professional with a one-sided unanimous decision win over perennial contender, Neil Magny.

Chael Sonnen shares his thoughts on Ian Garry

Sharing his thoughts on Garry’s withdrawal from the bout with Luque as he battled pneumonia, former title challenger turned analyst, Sonnen claimed the Dubliner should have at least showed his face to assembled media, before criticizing his PR team.

“I just think there was a few ways to handle that,” Chael Sonnen said during last night’s MMA Awards ceremony. “I think Ian Garry’s got very good advice. He’s clearly had great coaches. Just by example: He’s a handsome guy, he’s well-spoken, he gets the game, his skills are top-shelf. His PR sucks. Not that it’s bad – it sucks. It’s terrible. I only share that because there’s only one thing you can’t do, which is nothing – which is what he did do.”

“He could have showed up to the press conference, sit with a book,” Sonnen explained. “He could have set it up and walked out and the book just sits in his spot. He could have gone to the press conference, put a cigar in, put his feet up and read the book at the press conference and ignored the questions completely. He could have done anything but nothing.”

Hitting out at Garry in the early stages of last night’s press conference, Covington accused Anna-Lee of infidelity, questioning who in appearance at the presser had slept with the latter.

In between a hugely-critcized barb aimed at Edwards, in which Covington claimed the Brimingham native’s late father, who was shot and killed in a London nightclub when the champion was 13 years old, was residing in hell, the Clovis native issued another warning to Garry.

“I was going to teach him (Ian Garry) a lesson you know, just like I taught Leon (Edwards) a lesson,” Colby Covington explained. “You don’t cross the boss, he tried to cross the boss and call the shots and he couldn’t do it. The same lesson I’m gonna teach Ian, you don’t make a h*e a housewife.”
