UFC knows exactly what they’re doing with that thumbnail
And she knows what she's doing with that dress 🤣
It’s the only thing Unique or interesting about the guy lmao
On her way to pound town
Just need the timestamp
Yes. Yes they do
He is 24, she is 38 and has already left another man who she had a son with, within two years she has already made him put a ring on her. One of his boys needs to a have a word with him for real.
Source? Interested in this
Damn
@@19jtown source for what her age? try looking up the words "layla anna lee age" and "layla anna lee son"
@@the-mma-guru never knew that. All I heard was she was one of the reasons he had been left by his old Gym. Sheesh.
@@the-mma-guru your whole little story you told, obviously... you seem to think you know a lot of personal details
Anyone else see the thumbnail and think: “Holy shit, it’s been obvious this entire time.”
She’s so supportive of you - I really really hope to see more of her Edit - Dec 2023: oh Christ… NOOOOOOO!
Yeah she left her husband and kid for him.....very committed. Lol
@@HuwEvans. how do you know that? I wouldn’t be surprised but how do you know?
Ask the guys he came through with/under how "supportive" she is, she how long she sticks around when he gets ko'd stiff.
She's a reporter for mma
@@09weelulu Layla is his manager now.................uh oh
Let's be honest he was getting pieced up for most of the fight but he had great timing to get that ko
The fight was 4 minutes long and once he made the necessary reads and changes he easily was able to get the guys timing and counter him clean with the KO. Garry figured him out.
Yea he def was. If williams wasn’t overreaching who knows how it could’ve gone
But can you say the same for petr yan?..coz in every fight he sucks in round 1
Thats the fight business, all kinds of shit happens. Whats there to complain about ?
True but remember he’s only 23 and that’s crazy
Men of culture 7:09, 9:09, 10:43
Thank you my man, his debut definitely wasn’t impressive at all lol those time stamps is all I came for lol
My man
Not sure what these time stamps have in common ;)
Meh
Wow! She needs to work for UFC
She picked the right dress for MSG
Onlyfans awaiting
Right dress to make a debut
I thought he did OK in his debut fight. He's such a young guy & has tonnes of potential. Looking forward to seeing him evolve over next couple year's
lmao. first round KO against an undefeated fighter..."he did OK" the kind of heights some people are held too shows you that fans don"t understand how many fighters make a debut and you never hear about them
@@byrdfeathers3552 he's a casual don't listen to that kid 😂
@@averypiercy101 @Byrd Feathers right this dude is just hating on those big *hush* *puppies* *Gary* is *Motoboating* *right* *now*
@@byrdfeathers3552 Williams was like 9-4?
@@byrdfeathers3552 I'm sorry yes I agree he has a bright future & yeah he did well in his debut. He's still improving & for you to insult other fans saying they don't know anything. That's plain rude & insulting to fight fans like myself.
Tbh this guy is good, if you saw the fight you’d know he was nervous for most of the round and found his footing later on…excited to see him fight again
Flat footed you mean. He got lucky, he was getting pieced up
@@fakevirus8828 it’s called reading your opponent. took him 4 minutes to figure the dude out then timed the shot perfectly. nothing lucky abt a step back right hand
Its crazy this guys got one fight in the UFC and they pushing him like he is the next champ, I guess they know Connor only has 1-2 fights max left, and need someone to bring in the Irish fans.
Dio cagnaccio, it's conor, not connor
people get mad when they only promote their cash cows and people get mad when they promote up and comers, people just love to hate
that irish american market like in politics. obama is irish 🤣
@@smallies7154 he is tho
He’s a striker in a grappling heavy welterweight division. Yeah good luck “the future”
Her ex husband is literally right next to her in the crowd lol
She's 38 and he's 24. Left her husband and kid to support Garry's dreams. side note Nice herp at 2:25
Should that be a health hazard in MMA, an open sore. Especially during face to face clinches
what? can u give her name? lol
@@MrTermo Layla Anna-Lee
This is real story?
@@Imhim247 Yes, she was married to a TV producer and had a kid with him.. quit her tv host job to be Ian's manager/girlfriend.
Happy he said we've got a lot to learn he sure has after that performance
Teach him then? .. Wait you aren't sh!t
black fragility lol
Ohhhh I’m sure you can teach him huh
I'm not buying the Paddy and Garry hype just yet.
Yeah me neither they’re entertaining tho. I buy garry’s more than paddy’s just bc paddy makes me cringe seeing how high he keeps his chin the whole fight. I have a feeling he’s gonna get caught alot in his ufc career unless he fixes it.
They both lost the first round against really sus competition before finding the KO. They aren't going far
@@ItzOhhJay garry has better footwork and knowledge of distance but yes he did get caught more by an opponent who blitzed him multiple times. Paddy just throws himself into brawls w his chin up.
Yea me either. Neither looked to impressive in their debut. Even after watching Ian's fights in CW I knew Ian was going to get pieced up his stand up looks average in my opinion he he has more holds than skills
i find paddy's hype much more interesting because he seems to have more of his own personality instead of this whole forced second mcgregor thing
Honesty didn’t impress me all to much in his debut, but the kid is young & he can only improve from here
i honestly think he might go to bellator instead of staying in ufc
oh mannnnn. im sure he'll be so disappointed he didn't impress YOU
@@jja2370 shut up
He must take a Sean OMalley type of approach tho...
@@shanewhelan1906 what makes u say that
Unreal outfit his slam piece had on. Love it.
9:10 reason why you’re here
Ireland we did it baby, YEAHHHHHHH
Man of culture.
Tig ol bitties
Whoa
more like 7:12 kid
Im so happy for ian garry right now
He has McGregor's attitude without all that skill that came with it..
Exactly he’s nowhere Near Conor skill wise
Strickland is fixin to save this man.
He’s in deep waters and doesn’t even know it yet. I find it hard to imagine him being the next household name when he’s getting touched up like that in his1st UFC fight.
He's gonna be in Madison Square Garden purple shorts and two belts. You didn't hear the confidence??
yeah but he made the right reads and adjusted correctly which is a good sign. kept looking for that counter but jordan was throwing an extra punch after each combo and was catching his timing off. he read it and counter it perfectly
Even Jon Jones look like a nobody in his first fight. Important thing is seeing improvements over his next few fights.
Octagon jitters come to play here. Yes he has a lot to learn and he’ll only get better.
Says the mma expert from his mommas basement
Chandler had the best debut in 2021 change my mind
I mean Chandler is a veteran so there's that
That dont really count lol
Terrence McKinney job done in 7 seconds.
@@Lamebred. then in 7 more seconds he inflicted more damage to himself lol. Jokes aside beautiful debut
@@Lamebred. beat me to it
I obviously have no clue what her deal is, but my intuition tells me she isn't right for him.
She is 38 years old and has a kid . She is not right for him
@@morbius125 that aint the only problem but yeah LOL pretty sure you can see the top of a nip...very class broad
@@morbius125 he's just there for the poon
And she also gave him herpes by the looks of it
She saw McGregor's rise and is trying to hop on the gravy train. Watch her leave him after he gets cut from the ufc
I look forward to more of her...i mean him or whatever 👀
3:38 Cowboy's Ultimate Skill🔥🔥🔥8:48 Conor's Ultimate Skill🔥🔥🔥🔥
😂
Only that, Conor was not married to a WAG 😂
7:11 all the action i need
He nearly got KO'd a bunch of times in this fight. He's flat footed, will get starched by the best guys.
You watched a different fight...
He has zero grappling too. Him being a striker in the welterweight division is a death wish, no way in hell he cracks top 5
@@BarakaUglyyAhh Top 10*
The fact that the first thing he says is that he has a lot to learn and work on, is why he the future! But fr can’t take shots like that against top guys he will go to sleep
Confidence breeds legends
"We've got a lot to learn..." That's the potentially redeeming point of this debut.
The future of the shadow realm more like
"My Father is Dead, my Mom has no job" "I play Well and Edit videos" "But no One Support" "I hope you will see this message 😢💔"a
Hahaha 😂
Haters gonna hate Jesus give the guy a break he just had his 1st fight in the UFC and at 23 in MSG GO GARRY GO.
"we have lot to learn guys" already did self assessment of the fight and self aware of the shortcomings. He's like the young mind of conor McGregor, the recipe for greatness. What a video , in for a rollercoaster ride. Lets go ian 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Everyone wants to compare people to Conor. There was only one Conor. He was the total package for about 3 fun years.
@@19jtown you are 💯, but he keeps comparing himself to McGregor. they are very different indeed.
if u look at the height reach ian is way bigger then conor and diff style
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 this is the flag lol
@@desslattery3457 fk that, I'll represent mine.🤣😂
Irish lad, moved to Miami, got himself a hot latina brunette, and now got his first ufc win. Living the life. 👏
As a poor white irish kid growing up as the token miami white kid in the hood... I assure you he has a 10. That girl even for miami standards is a keeper.
dude that "girl" is a 39 yrs old english woman with a small kid at home, and a poor husband
Latina??🤣 she’s from England.
@@darkno6493 she’s Brazilian I believe
@@ionstan9772 This is factual????
This bullshit reminds me of why I like people like Moreno and Blachowicz...
Garry is a good fighter only 24 now becoming more and more well rounded training with Stanford. I think in the first round he was finding his range and then when he found it he landed, don’t sleep on him just yet
I’m all for being excited and promoting prospects but it’s his fist bloody fight and he’s got his own documentary 😩, and his missus saying she only worries about his opponents 😩 that’s just naive
Or...... confidence with all great fighters must have and who else to tell you you are the best
@@jamesonmcfargo1067 or…… you can have confidence and not be arrogant. He’s running before he can walk, you can make headlines and cut a promo without thinking you’re a 10 year UFC veteran on your debut.
He was losing that shit too 😭
@@CautionBeforeCoffee he won the cage warriors strap without a corner... he's pretty good. can't say he definitely does well, but the confidence is warranted
Whatever about him, when she said that I was almost embarrassed for her, what a stupid thing to say, is she 14
This guy is going 0-3 next in devastating fashion and getting cut. Atm he won his first fight vs Williams. I'll come back to this and see how it ages. No hate for the kid btw, just my prediction, I hope he does well.
yeah he lacks the skills and work ethic to back up his talk, he'll probably be a no name in like 2 years
@@StormBred he was a cage warriors champ, i would say a top 5 organization outside the ufc. he seems to be a pretty damn hard worker, so if he has the talent i can see him making a run. what makes you say he lacks skills and work ethic?
I’ll make that bet and say he wins the next 3. I got 1k (hypothetical) dollars
I kinda agree with you
I doubt he’ll be any good unless he changes up his style
Damn he in Khamzat’s Division 🥶
Khamzat will be the king of that division most likely
Khamzat would eat dude for an appetizer
When you are too sure, you always get a lesson in humility.
We get it ,your Irish like McGregor. The skills , fans , momentum , personality don’t transfer over lol. Gotta build yourself up
Skills lol? He was getting mopped the whole fight but I guess we’ll see maybe it was a bad matchup for him who knows 🤷🏽♂️
I’m a fan of the kid. I’m not a fan of the treading in someone else’s footsteps. Get your own lines, make your own path. Watching him is great, until he starts talking and acting like the 2nd coming of McGregor, who’s still an active fighter (regardless of injury) . Not only can you not be the 2nd coming of a guy who is still relevant, but you don’t have any of his qualities with the exception of the fighting skill set because you can’t come up with shit else to say but what the last man already said. Well, Ian, there are 500 fighters in the company with a comparable skill set in 2021, so what the fuck makes YOU the next Conor? Oh, cause you’re Irish? Right. That’s not something we had seen already.
Or maybe because Connor is the biggest ufc star of all time and this kid Met his idol and got to take a pic with him. Things like this will be more common happening same with like Lebron James taking number 23 because of Micheal Jordan and a bunch other examples I don’t care to name . Did you know one of Sean O malleys Idol is Connor mcgregor as well? I bet this only bothers you because it is Connor mcgregor and you’re a bandwagon
He’s not even at even like mcgreggor personality wise, you just hate Connor. Grow the fuck up and stop expecting people to change for you
@@lbjdoe2130 Sean doesn’t say things conman does lol this kid got fucked up this fight lol. Imagine if he was fighting top 20 lmafo
Can't even have hero's these days haha
"I'm a fan of the kid" goes on to flame him
The take over part 2 comment was fucking gold I'm excited to watch this kid grow into a amazing top teir fighter.
Brilliant hope he does well big respect bro 💯🇮🇪
Look who he goes home to, automatically enters the cage with a dub
Big Simpin
@@19jtown Simpin ain't easy
Which gives guys everywhere hope. If a dude looking like that can get a girl like her, anyone can!
@@syphonunfiltered a dude looking like what? he's 6'3 and athletic with blonde hair, blue eyes & facial symmetry, and now has some fame and money.. yeah he's really struggling i'm sure, what a rags to riches story a guy like that getting a 7.5/10 girlfriend

Wow! Layla Anna lee has been around the sports scene for a while. Did not expect her to be with a UFC fighter. Thought a soccer player
I remember seeing her as a soccer host/presenter more than half a decade ago as a kid, completely threw me off when I saw her interview Till, and even more so now
@@The_Queefinator do you remember the channels name? I remember that too!
@@IKARNIFEX It was called kicktv, have completely forgot about that channel until this moment. But from what I gathered it seems they do go by copa90 now, not really sure
@@The_Queefinator yes!! Thank you. It’s been a while since I thought about it as well. Used to spend hours watching the three regulars together.
Ian Garry gonna be real something
I love how she is concerned about ians opponents and how things will get Nasty
Jason strout tryna imitate mcgregors look but fugged on on the pigtails As mcgregor says "Mudda fugga dont look like me"
I kept thinking he was gonna rub the Herp on his opponent🤔
He was getting pieced up before he got the KO. Honestly, I don’t think he’s gonna go too far in the UFC. I think other fighters are gonna figure him out pretty quickly and the hype is gonna be short lived.
he told himself we got alot to learn,hes only 23,and he addapted later in the fight...
He’s gonna suffer the same fate as Edmund Shabazyan.. a one dimensional striker who can’t figure out grappling defense against any decent grappler
Any OG Copa90 fans remember growing up with Layla and her stunning *peronality* ?
That speech after was marvelous and licking his fingers like he just ate what he slaughtered 9:57
Don't think "Marvelous" is the right word, but it was ok
I hope his train doesn't get derailed, i'm rooting for him.
I think his nerves played a big role. He was on one of the biggest stages for his debut. But, we seen this before. I'd like to see him do well in the UFC..
He looks like a 6ft 5 year old.
6"3
Not easy to wipe the smile of this kid’s face. Looking forward to his future fights
Definitely hope to see more of him . Wanna see more of his bird
From one Ian to another, do it for the Ian’s.

The man knows what he wants so as a fellow Dubliner I hope he goes far love from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤. The girlfriend ❤ she is fine 🙂 an English 🌹
He got a better attitude than part one! 🤣
I see a lot of potential in Garry. He's a big welterweight for someone his height. Sure, he got worked up in his debut but he's only 23 so he has lots of time to improve. I watched some of his previous fights and he's incredibly well-rounded, the striking, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, its all there.. He's good everywhere but not great. Hopefully in the near future, he can train with other fighters so he can become better. I see him becoming a top contender in the future and even as the champ too.
Only thing I don't like is that Garry keeps talking bout Conor and how it's the takeover part 2. I get that Conor is his idol and inspiration but it's better to create your own path and legacy rather than going in someone else's footsteps.
He trains at Sanford so I think he’s getting good guidance over there

Is Ian the first mentally challeged fighter in the UFC? If so props to the UFC for given him a chance, but let's cut cutt off the mic time.
his striking coach reminds me of Clay Guida
First gights are meant to be easy though. He looks good but not Khamzat good
Don't get easy fights in the ufc
nobody in the history of the ufc looked khamzat good in the beginning. not even mcgregor looked as perfect as khamzat
Even the lower ranked fighters can beat a capable person
Guy is just full of charisma and honest to himself that he has a lot to learn, hating on a 23 year old on his debut is so crazy if you really hear some of you.
Full of charisma😂 the guy is cringe af
the kid aint intelligent or charismatic hes a try hard
@@Oddly_Fascinting he’s cringe, but he’s a 23 year old in the UFC and it’s cool to see young fighters showing their personality too
bless the cameraman recording his family from a bottom angle
9:09 moment you came for
she was already old as fuck here
The way he threw that right hand that he caught Williams with; it's like seeing conor throwing his left hand. His name would be remembered if he keeps the passion and aspiration.
I was waiting for the Silly kid who tries to compare him with Conor. Congratulations, your that plonker
@@libbad7419 Guard your cereal good next time. Maybe you're expecting people to compare him to Ed Sheeran. Plus use your words right. It's not "your" it's "you're".
Thumb nailed me 🤦🏻♂️
Pretty similar to pimblett's debut as they both got pieced up until they found their KO
Big fan of Conor, but I’m just not seeing any star power w this Irishman. The UFC wants so badly to get another superstar and they force it upon fighters. Not to mention anyone w the nickname “The Future” never works out

Garry is an excellent striker, I hope he makes a boat load of money…….he deserves it , but he’s never ever beating Chimaev on Sean Brady.
The wrestling skill gap is too big for people getting into it late in the game to jump. The fact Irleand and the UK dont have college wrestling like the US and we dont have a culture of elite wrestling like Russia or BJJ like Brazil leaves us really behind.
Why does he deserve it?
