The ongoing saga between Sean Strickland and Ian Garry appears to be far from over.

Garry and his wife, Layla Anna-Lee, have drawn the ire of the MMA community after fans discovered that Anna-Lee wrote a book more than a decade ago entitled How to Be a WAG. The book acts as a guidebook for older women looking to secure relationships with younger athletes and celebrities. Garry and his wife have both called it nothing more than pure satire, but given the fact that Anna-Lee is 14 years older than Garry, not everyone is buying their explanation.

That includes reigning UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland who targeted the couple in multiple videos, labeling Anna-Lee as a “succubus” and encouraging Garry to get out of the relationship.

The online rant resulted in Garry threatening legal action against Strickland which only exacerbated the situation.

As it turns out, Strickland and Garry ran into one another at the UFC P.I. in Las Vegas. Needless to say, the encounter was nothing short of awkward.

“I went to the P.I. today and I ran into the f*cking cuck, Ian Garry,” Strickland said on Instagram. “Awkward, man, awkward. He looked at me hard. Security had to escort us around. F*cking awkward sh*t, right? I’m laughing my ass off.

“Garry, I don’t f*cking hate you, I actually like you,” he continued. “I think you’re a f*cking funny little dweeb. You make me f*cking laugh. I think you’re a dumbass f*cking kid who got some p*ssy that was too good for him and it got in his head and it f*cked you up. I look at you like a victim” (h/t MMA Mania).

Strickland is willing to throw hands with Garry if that’s what ‘The Future’ wants

Ian Garry will gun for his 14th straight win inside the Octagon on December 16 when he meets No. 8 ranked welterweight contender Vicente Luque at UFC 296.

In the meantime, the promotion will likely be keen on keeping Garry and Strickland away from one another, especially with ‘Tarzan’ scheduled for his first defense of the 185-pound crown in January. Of course, that won’t stop Strickland from throwing hands with Garry should that be where ‘The Future’ needs to take things.

“I don’t wanna fight you, bro,” Strickland said. “I’m happy for your success, I’m happy for you. But if you look at me hard and you’re feeling some kind of way, if you’re feeling like you need to get this sh*t f*cking handled, and you want to look at me hard and that’s what you want, slide up in the DMs, bro. I don’t want it, but if that’s what you want, you know where to find me, man.”

Rising contender Ian Garry may have to make a pitstop in the middleweight division before continuing his ascent up the welterweight ladder.

Ian Garry has been the subject of much controversy in recent weeks with fighters such as Leon Edwards and Sean Brady having issues with him inside the gym. However, many of the headlines have focused on Garry’s seemingly unconventional relationship with his wife, Layla Anna-Lee, who wrote a book more than a decade ago entitled How to Be a Wag.

Only spanning 11 pages, the guidebook of sorts teaches older women how to work their way into relationships with young athletes and celebrities. Anna-Lee has described the book as nothing more than satire, but given the fact that she is 14 years older than Garry, a lot of fans and even a few fighters have questioned her motives. That includes reigning middleweight champion Sean Strickland who went off on Garry and his “succubus” wife in a series of videos posted on social media.

All the negative attention appears to be getting to Ian Garry, as evidenced by a brief video clip shared on his now-protected X account. In the clip, ‘The Future’ admitted that all the talk from Strickland has him considering a quick stop at middleweight to settle their issues inside the Octagon.

“The more people talk, the harder I work,” Garry said. “I’ve got more people to prove wrong. It’s not fueling me, it’s p*ssing me off. I might have to win a middleweight world title before I win the welterweight.

Sean Strickland Takes Another Dig at Ian Garry

Strickland, like everyone else, was quick to notice that Garry had restricted his X account, prompting yet another outburst from the outspoken king of 185.

“F*cking cuck made his tweeter private lmao!!!!!!!!! Yall bullied him too much,” Strickland wrote alongside a screenshot of Garry’s private account.

Amid all the surrounding drama, Garry will look to score his 14th straight win on December 16 when he steps inside the Octagon for a high-stakes scrap with No. 8 ranked welterweight contender, Vicente Luque. ‘The Future’ has won six straight under the UFC banner while Luque will look to make it back-to-back W’s following his unanimous decision over former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos.
