Ian Garry put on one of the most impressive performances of his young career this past Saturday at UFC 285, where he TKO’d fellow finisher Song Kenan at 4:22 of the third and final round to improve his professional record to 11-0.

The Irishman had a rather unpleasant encounter following his win however, and he recanted his post-fight experience on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Hour:

“I stood there with my whole team. I’m standing there with about eight (or) nine people, and Grandma Khabib came up to me and was like, ‘hey Ian, can I have a photo?’ And I was like, ‘of course you can yeah.’ So we start talking, we start chatting.”

Garry continued: “And while I’m chatting with her I just hear this guy shouting, screaming, coming through like where all the cars were and he’s like, ‘bro that’s the easiest fucking 50k I’ve ever made in my life. I’m fucking awesome.’ He’s just screaming and shouting. I don’t know if he was off his face or what he was doing.

“But then he just bumped into me. And I just turned around to him and I’m like, ‘hey, hey, relax.’ And he turns around and goes, ‘or what?’, and I’m like (dumbfounded). And I just laugh, I just start laughing and I look at him like, ‘sorry?’ And he’s (again) like, ‘or what?’ He’s like, ‘I’m a fighter, I do this shit.’ I’m like, ‘oh really, really, you do this shit?’ He’s like, ‘yeah you don’t want any of this smoke.’

“And then his fat little mate fucking stood there in his pink blazer going, ‘yeah you don’t want any of this.’

“Meanwhile just Layla stood there in front of me with the baby going, ‘Ian, if you do anything you’ll lose your VISA, you’re not gonna be able to fight here.’ I’m just eyeballing the guy at this point, Layla is looking at me going, ‘is he moving?’ I’m like, ‘no, and if he moves a step closer I’m going to fucking kick him in the balls.’

“And I just started emptying my pockets, because the way I looked at him it looked like he was on coke or something because he wasn’t thinking.”

Garry continued: “I’m like if this guy’s going to look at me like that and try to be a dick in front of all these (people) – I could hear people going, ‘does this guy fucking know who he’s talking to?’

I’ve never been in a fight outside the octagon because I’m too smart. But it took everything in me, with the way he was eyeballing me, not to go at him. It was like he wanted to kill me with the way he looked at me and I was like, ‘I’m going to put you unconscious if you take one step forward. One step forward or say one more word, I am going to end you.”

Ian Garry is known for being quite the gentleman, and who could’ve faulted him for attacking the man that initiated a confrontation with him.

Video: fan attempts to assault Ian Garry in parking lot after UFC 285 fight

Ian Garry Kenan Song UFC 285 fan

The 11-0 rising UFC phenom Ian Garry had a close call with a fan in the parking lot of the UFC 285 venue. After his fight with Kenan Song, Garry, and his entourage would attempt to leave when things got hairy with a crazed fan.

The Irishman endured some trials and tribulations early into his fight with Song. However, when he needed it most, Garry had the presence of mind and heart to turn things around. Quickly, things began to look very one-sided. ‘The Future’ would begin to batter his opponent, and Song started to look overwhelmed.

In the third round, Ian Garry would really amp up the pressure. In the last few minutes of the fight, Garry put the pedal to the metal and, in a last-minute swarm, finished Kenan Song with a powerful flurry. After getting dapper for his post-fight press conference appearance, Garry and crew would attempt to leave when a mentally unstable fan wanted to issue a challenge to the trained modern-day gladiator that is ‘The Future’.

Fan issues ridiculous challenge to Ian Garry in parking lot outside of UFC 285 venue

Captured on video and posted to Twitter, an intoxicated or just rather delusional fan thought it would be wise to issue the trained mixed martial artist Ian Garry a direct challenge.

“Relax, relax!” Garry says on the video to the crazed fan attempting to fight him. The two are separated by a small crowd of people, but if either suddenly blitzed, a few strikes could undoubtedly land.

“I’m a fighter too, dog; I do this!” the lunatic screams while mildly attempting to march forward. Obviously, getting knocked out by a UFC fighter must be high on his bucket list.

The most comical part of the video, besides the deranged idiotic fan with a death wish, is the fact that one of the people holding the crazy fan back is an old lady. Obviously, a senior citizen and probably older than the two men put together. All props go to her, though, as she never backed down and demonstrated that bravery transcends age and physicality.

No matter what, that delusional fan should count himself lucky that he got spared by Ian Garry that night. The fan probably needed to be humbled, but if he actually fought against the likes of Garry on that concrete they both stood on: the fan could have easily died when he got knocked out, and his head hit the concrete below.

Obviously, everybody is human, and every fight could be viewed as a 50/50 chance of winning and losing, but all signs point to ‘The Future’ committing a near-murder on that man if things really got physical. Thankfully for everybody involved, Garry let the man talk his lunatic utterings and let him leave with his dignity and life intact.

What are your thoughts on this strange parking lot interaction between Garry and the crazed fan?

Ian Garry UFC 285 KO Kenan Song Highlights

Improving to 11-0 as a professional in the featured early preliminary bout of UFC 285 tonight, Portmarnock native, Ian Garry retains his undefeated record courtesy of a late third round TKO win over Kenan Song — lodging his fourth Octagon victory.

Garry, who landed a trio of prior wins over Jordan Williams, Darian Weeks, and Gabe Green ahead of his UFC return tonight against Song, was dropped for the first time in his promotional tenure, walking onto a winging left hook counter from Song midway through the first frame.

Surviving a moment of real adversity, the Dubliner would then rebound to take the second round convincingly, outstriking Song and bloodying the Chinese challenger’s face.

In the final minute of the third frame, Garry, who was comfortably leading the bout on all three judge’s scorecards, pressed forward and dropped Song with strikes at the fence himself, before forcing the issue and stoppage with a slew of ground strikes.

Calling for a quickfire return at UFC 287 next month on April 8. — Ian Garry, a trainee at Kill Cliff FC in Deerfield Beach, Florida, urged the promotion to book him on the ‘Sunshine State’ card alongside teammate, Gilbert Burns.
