UFC welterweight Ian Garry proclaims himself the savior of the UFC 292 card this weekend.

Garry has never been short on confidence, and the 25-year-old seems to be as full of it as ever ahead of his fight this weekend. Originally set to face Geoff Neal, but following an injury, Garry has had to settle for late replacement Neil Magny on the PPV main card.

Appearing on The MMA Hour, Garry explained that he sees himself as the one saving this card which is headlined by Aljamian Sterling and Sean O’Malley.

“I believe that I am carrying this (UFC) 292 card on my back and if it wasn’t for me, this card would go down the drain,” began Garry. “With the opponent change, at the end of the day, I’m just happy the fans get to see me. I know there is a lot of Irish and Brazilian support in Boston that are excited to have me there. I’m glad the fans get to watch me live in action.” (H/T BJPenn.com)

Ian Garry’s Irish Connection

Garry continued, saying that as an Irishman he will automatically be more of an attraction fighting in Boston. Irish Americans make up 22.8% of the city’s population, the highest rate in the entire country.

“I’m Irish, I’m fighting in Boston, they have a massive Irish contingent. I’ve just been in Brazil for the last two-and-half months, the biggest contingent for Brazilians is in Massachusetts in Boston,” said Garry. “This is the stage, the platform when I go in there, you said it, you got likes of Sean O’Malley and Aljamain and all these guys, I’m the superstar on the card”.

“It happened in the last fight, it’s happening in this fight, the wheels are in motion, I just have to show up and do my thing and the world will see.”

However, during the training session, Curtis appeared to injure on of his ribs, claiming he had separated it. After a short break, the American quickly attempted to get straight back to action much to dismay of Garry.

“Stop being an idiot. BRO! I’m gonna jump the f**k out of the ring,” Garry said.

“Come on, it’s a rib, Layla [Garry’s wife] make him fight” Curtis responded.

“You’re too tough for your own good. You’re fighting soon,” Garry replied.

“I got six weeks,” Curtis said attempting to reason, “Ian buddy come on, finish the round”.

“You’re going to come in the next one. Trust me,” said Garry. This is where you being smart is going to get you to the f*****g top five, the belt, all of that shit. You don’t need to be tough here.”

Curtis is currently booked to face Anthony Hernandez on September 16 as part of a UFC Fight Night card.

Outspoken middleweight contender Sean Strickland was not amused by the antics of undefeated Irish prospect Ian Garry during International Fight Week.

Garry made a stink throughout the week, making public appearances and showing up to UFC 290 wearing a t-shirt that featured the mugshot of his next opponent inside the Octagon, Geoff Neal. Garry even went so far as to offer the shirts for sale online which did not sit well with Neal or his father who fired back at Garry on Facebook.

“Turns out Ian Garry is straight trash. That’s Geoff’s mug shot on his shirt. Weirdo thought it would be cute to wear this shirt to UFC 290,” Neal’s father wrote. “He’s so far back from the necessary fighters that no one gave a damn. I hope like hell he stays healthy so he makes to the 19th. It’s been a minute since somebody spoke out of place…ask [Belal] and Mike Perry how that worked for them.”

In 2021, Neal was arrested in the early morning hours on Thanksgiving and charged with a DWI and unlawful carrying of a weapon, both misdemeanors.

“Watching Ian Garry giggle like a little girl wearing Neil Geoff mug shot… The weakest call out ever…. not even funny.. Neil you shouldn’t fight that dork but definitely smack him up side the head when you see him….. Buckley vs Garry. I’d way rather watch that fight,” Strickland tweeted.
