"Ma I wanna join an mma gym" "You'll do fookin nuttin" -2:05
good one m8
Oh shut up honestly.
@@seanmma5771 Go to bed
Read this at the same time!
When I picture his ma' I see conor mcgreggor in a wig 😂😂
when he mentioned his team leaving him before the most important fight of his early career you could see pain in his eyes, he has proven them wrong, man has a bright future.
he didnt pay his coaches and he was being disrespectful then he got got abandoned
@@shanewhelan1906 yeah i always figured it wasn’t a one sided story i heard his fiancé is also his manager and that caused a lot of drama in the gym.
@@shanewhelan1906 how do you know?
sounds like he's a selfish entitled crybaby. they left bc he treated them lime dirt. his 50 yr old wife runs his entire life
That was not pain... That was him recollecting what happened then shaking it off.
He needs to learn how to wrestle now, when he's young. The last UFC event is proof how crucial it is
Oh yea. Grappling and wrestling.
lmao yeah but it don't put on a show. He on the right path if he wanna get paid.
Them Russians really evolved the MMA style .
@@craigman7262 what??
@@craigman7262 Nah dude, you don't learn to wrestle well enough and you're not on any path but a downfall these days.
This is unreal I remember fighting Ian at a judo Dan grading about 5 years ago in Dublin. Fella whooped my ass😂😂 you could tell he was a natural fighter but very respectable and friendly outside the mat. Wish him all the best 👊🏼
Is he good at judo?
@@MuayThai_Don Well he’s a Judo black belt, but gave up Judo very shortly after getting his Dan grade, that said he had very nice Judo
glad this lad didnt completely rip off the mcgregor gimmick like gallagher did
Facts I love that , trying to make his own name
the moment he steps in the octagon with someone that can maul, he'll realise he should've listened to his mum. in his weightclass he'll never touch anything close to a belt. this whole video was basically him talking about boxing. train derail waiting to happen.
@@kingk7884 did you not see him grapple with jack grant?😂he outgrappled him,Ian’s also a judo black belt his grappling is underrated just because he doesn’t use it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have it,plus now he’s at sandford MMA best believe he’s working hard on his grappling, jack grant is a top level submission specialist and couldn’t do anything to Ian,if anything Ian was more dangerous on the ground in that fight,and Ian looked like he could fight 5 more rounds at after finishing 25 mins
@@kingk7884 why u copying and pasting this all over the comment section LMAO weird as fuck
his ma' did though: "you'll do fookin' nuthin'"
"Let the bridges I burn light my way..." The Chip on this kids shoulders must be humongous! Prove them all wrong kid!
Absolutely love that quote, he needs that self belief! I've been all in on this bloke for a while. I reckon he goes far in the UFC!🤜🤛All the best to The Future.
Tom Brady (GOAT football player), Tyson Fury (Irish ethnicity), Conor McGregor, Jack Dempsey, Michael Phelps (GOAT swimmer and GOAT Olympian), Nolan Ryan (GOAT pitcher), Kelly Slater (GOAT surfer), Jason Kidd, John Stockton etc, I'd love to see another addition to a great collection of Irish athletes over the years
@Seydou Kone did you forget the part where he is 23 he is a WW will unlimited potential to grow in a sport he's only being doing for 4/5 years
@Seydou Kone who are you to say how far someone can go...? Are you a fortune teller, can you predict the future..? Truth is, you don't know sh*t. Quit hating on this kid, you have no idea how far he can go if he puts his mind to it. Khamzat has a hard time making weight at 170 anyways, doubt he will be there for much longer.
@Seydou Kone that's ridiculous give him time to grow and fight lower level guys. Khamzat is going to fight top 10 guys. Totally different level so no reason to compare the two. Maybe in 4-5 years.
People acting like he has 0 grappling or anything just because hes a great striker. Hes a judo blackbelt as well as far as i know.
hello brother..anyone knows that martial arts is not here...i'm from Indonesia..i want to introduce it to the whole world..what do you think?
@@pakkasun22 start by promoting the sport to people around you
@@Blue-bv1ur ready brother. I hope you are always healthy and healthy
Lol if you think he can outgrapple/wrestle someone that's been doing that all his life, you're dense. His background is boxing. he's a train derail waiting to happen
@@kingk7884 so you are saying that unless they started mma with grappling background, they will lose. Hmm I wonder what Izzy thinks about that?
His parents depressing as hell smh glad for his success
I’m sure they’re eating their words now.
It’s because mma is still unknown to the older Irish generation. Of course they didn’t think there would be a future for him
Parents actually do this on purpose because we know you'll go for it more once told no.
@@benrobinson6954 yet they knew who Conor McGregor was. If they knew about MMA they wouldn't want him doing it anyway.
Well they're just being real. How many other people drop out of college and fail miserably. Probably a fuck load
This guys going to be fun as fuck to watch, his ground and pound is lethal
If he actually can get them down
Everyone looks good outside the UFC. I’m interested in watching him, he seems exciting. However, he’s about to fight guys on a whole different level.
@@johnnysanchez4996 except his first oppenent is Williams, don't think he's won in the ufc yet
Fr tho that ground and pound
@@AWCTB don't you know Dublin is the wrestling capitol of the world? This boy has been wrestling sheep since age 3.
Ufc doing good with these vids
I dont believe him about the torn knee tho. There is no way you can fight like that with a torn knee
Obviously you’ve never been in a octagon or fight! When you get injuries in a fight 90% of the time you don’t feel the injury till a bit after the fight! Depends on what kind of injury! A lot of fighter tear there acl’s and don’t realize till days after the fight!
@@vipr1142 there’s a documentary on the lead up to that fight
@@dylanconlon975 It's obvious you never been injured
Wow UFC do this for more new UFC fighters. Everyone has a story, I knew about Gary before, but now, I'm invested!
They always do this for every card. Start watching the Countdown episodes.
They do this all the time, what are u talking about? 😂
* Garry
What's you're story?
Glad to see another Irish lad in the UFC but his team up and leaving him seems a bit sus
They said he had a ego problem but this is fighting who cares ? It’s bogus what they did to him
Could be. Or the team could just be weird.
Now hes at sanford so probably was a benefit for the kid. Gym of killers would help an ego problem if that was there. Think he’ll fare well in his career
He won without the team, who cares
Any team that leaves a fighter that close to a championship fight was trying to tank the kid. And no good team would do that even if they had a serious problem with there fighter they would give them that last fight beings it was so close.
Hell yea, love him already not many can stand on their own! specially in this game and his age!
Respect to this guy for following his dreams and listening to nowone, hopefully he achieves the success he desires.
they should do this for all the fighters, love hearing about their stories!
In a world that lacks a lot of genuine nature and truly interesting backstories, this guy is something to watch. Eire potentially being on the rise again is just an added bonus. 🇮🇪
A young guy struggling and poor that makes it into the UFC. Thats as basic as it gets. He's just missing the part where his gf was pregnant
@@GrandpaBarret Except he wasn't poor, he's just Irish young and a good fighter.
Great video. Solid introduction. Can't wait to see what this kid does.

This story was super captivating omfg. This guys a slayer in the cage and with the women ahah. The part about his team abandoning him caught me so off guard and had me flustered, the fact that he had no one but one of his mates to corner him and still went out and executed his game plan is phenomenal especially in a tittle fight like are u kidding me. Well done brother, cant wait to see your fight Saturday
The future ian garry 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Ya I’m rooting for this kid
UFC has the best series. There are so many to choose from
He was a great watch in cage warriors. Look forward to seeing his journey

@@eheeb79 just being realistic, no need to be a snowflake about it
@@kingk7884 you obviously never watched him

He’s 23 and his chick is 38. Noice. But he probably got bossed by his mrs/manager which led to the fallout with his previous team
She wants to be Dee Devlin 2.0
Oh she sees money in him for sure. Be interested to see where she is when he’s struggling to make the top 20.
Mid-life crisis
@@MrAlan287 i would get ppl thinking she is only about the money if she would be in her early twenties while he would be almost 40, but isn`t this a win for her, she looks great don`t get me wrong i would never think she is 38 but still.. why do some instantly assume a women is with a guy only for the money
Good for you kid. Looking forward to seeing you make a name for yourself. We’ll be watching. Make us proud.
Imagine Edwards vs Garry for the belt in the UK in 2024. I hope Leon can hold onto the belt that long!
What an amazing story....gets abandoned by his team but still comes out stronger
Hate him or love him,Connor is such an inspiration to the point where he inspired people from nowhere to climb all the way to the UFC!!...Imagine this guy vs Khamzat!..Crazyy
The crazy thing is Khamzat was also got inspired to be in the UFC because of Conor
@@gabrielmorales7136 mate, even Khabib was a fanboy in the early days!! Conor is a dickhead these days but for a moment in time, the whole world was on that hype train!! He really did bolster, on a global scale not just the UFC but MMA in general... Crazy stuff!!

So stoked for his debut. Gowan Ian, wreck the gaff!
Omg I’ve been obsessed with this guy since his cage warriors run guys the best European prospect since the notorious one himself so proud of him gives hope to up and coming fighters like myself
Khamzat chimaev exists
@Toneil Dariergush he was a prospect until recently
I'm a khabib fan and I really like this lad, seem like a good fella, wish him the best.

@@Bihghhjiytt I dont know
Love these episodes keep them coming, wouldnt have known much about him until now
Respect to Garry walks in w no team.. that's true heart
Ian Garry Will Be The Next Irish Champion 💪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
7:25 - Wrestling with Durinho, getting a look from Chandler. Good job, Ian. Not bad =J
His footage from cage warrior is pretty damn awesome. I gotta admit that. He made his point, now just focus on being himself. Things will fall into place organically just be staying true to yourself. Don't let anything alter you, or make you try and be something your not. Your natural talent got u here. Keep following that.
Can’t wait to see him in that ring💪🏽
This dude's got a LOT cute out for him. Welterweight is STACKED now. At least he doesn't have to deal with Khamzat during his uprise.
Tf do you mean? Khan say seems capable of being in welterweight for a good ass while, i see him hanging in there with Colby Covington but Colby has had it worse than those bitch lol, Colbys always been a beast I’m sticking with him as a fan💯
Cute?
@@SatanDynastyKiller cut
@@misaelmendoza9725 khamzat said he might move up to middleweight once he's got the 170 title
@@luke8127 he also said he might go up to heavyweight to fight Brock lesnar so looking forward to that as well
Hope he can be a better representative of Ireland on the world stage than McGregor is, Garry seems like a great guy and he is a credit to us as a nation
tbh, i didnt know Ian that well. I knew his opponent, Jordan more. Which made me want to cheer for Jordan. After watching this, it changed my whole opinion. UFC needs to do more of these, it builds a personal relationship with the fighter and gives you more of a look into the fighter than just their interviews before and after fights. I really enjoyed this.
Ian id for real, so excited for him to finally get the big call.
LOVE that he's in the UFC, what a fighter!!!👏👏👏 All the best in proving doubters wrong Ian!
I love women who love MMA.
Glad Ian didn't move to SBG and instead train with killers in Sanford. Good choice for him. Can't wait for his debut.
Will always support a fellow countryman Go on lad
Lets Go Ian wish u all the Best 💯🙏
AMAZING way to introduce someone! As long as he can wrestle he should be good csuse welterweight is the most wrestling heavy division
Seems like he's got a good team and training partners with Chandler and burns hope Chandler helps him on his wrestling
This ufc Content that has been being pushed out lately is insane
How id it insane
@Emerald Triangle wicka wicka
@@RunningCordoroy variety of stories and narratives coming out which have a quality production behind them

Irish pride, my friend! Finally, another Irishman to cheer for, we can be proud of!
I hope he becomes insanely famous and rubs it in his parents and teams face.
trust me he will get a stunning KO and get all the hype like paddy did, dude a phenomenal fighter
Actually there's a documentary on KZhead about him that shows he does love his mom alot, so I guess this video doesn't tell the whole story.
@@RedceLL1978 yeah I figured it's just makes a good story. You know like my parents doubted me but look at me now type story

You go son!!! GO HARD!!! Will be cheering for ya!!!!
Love to see more of this
Ian "The Window Cleaner" Garry would have been sick
I don't want to be a buzz kill, but making into the UFC is just the first step. I've seen so many young fighters get a contract and just disappear, then become broke and bitter. I wish him the best, I just hope he measures his expectations.
things have kind of changed in regards to people showing up without being vetted. almost everyone debuting in the UFC now, has to be on a 6 fight streak or they don't get in. There are clearly people brought in to lose a fight, like the poor kid they threw to sugar shane(which should absolutely not be happening) , but the kids getting multifight deals, have to prove they belong there. 1 loss can keep you out of the bigshow after going on a 5 fight run
Paddy played it well, turned them down twice because he said he wasn't ready. He didn't want to come in too soon and get beaten then disappear. Then cage warriors paid him a mega contract to stay the second time around
@@ChargedWords this is true. You're playin with fire as a young guy hyped up to hit the UFC runnin. It was really smart of him to hold off. Overall this kid looked sharp. Remained really calm in the exchanges. Him on the mic though... he needs a PR person. Lol
@@hashvendetta7226 haha who paddy or Ian? Yeah I totally agree, just because you've signed a contract doesn't mean you've made it unfortunately.
@@ChargedWords ian. Lol, actually both. They're both pretty terrible on the mic. Ian looked sharp though. He did well waiting for his opening
cant wait to see him compete !!
Wow, what a story fighting against all odds. This kid has an unbreakable spirit and will get the job done.
until he meets someone like Chimaev or Kamaru in the octagon. or anyone with good grappling and chain wrestling. Train derail waiting to happen
I need to hear more about the whole "team abandoned me" thing. How exactly does that happen. Whatd he do to piss them off?
"Some of the values that we openly promote are loyalty, honour and respect. Where an individual no longer abides by these values, and expects special privelages in regards to their contribution to the club, that individual will be informed that their position as a team member is untenable. No one individual is bigger than the overall welfare and safety of the team. With that in mind Ian Garry was informed that he was no longer a member of the club, after repeated warnings regarding his behavior to other team mates and his coaches..." Part of a statement on the matter put out by his gym a while back. Seems like theres more to the story than hes letting on here.
@@fionnmcaleer4830 that was what i figured. Also why those Florida boys were strokin him off so hard on camera about how good of a teammate he is.
@@fionnmcaleer4830 Simply put not paid the his gym money that in his words “ he didn’t owe them”.
@@fionnmcaleer4830 There's always 3 sides to every story. There's no way they'd just 'up and abandon him' cos he forgot to flush the toilet
@@fionnmcaleer4830 That's only their side of the story though, that isn't necessarily the truth.
I need more information on why his team abandoned him before the title fight. 🤔
He flicked a booger at one of the coaches
They said he had a ego problem but this is fighting who cares ? It’s bogus what they did to him
His friend that stepped in and cornered him was Paul Hughes. Cage Warriors interim featherweight champ. Hopefully will join him in the UFC soon! ☘️
@@gavdennehy definitely will that dudes a beast
Look up Ian garry documentary on KZhead. It was over money allegedly owed by Ian to the coach
What a story, like these episodes a lot!
Take his head kid! Can’t wait for the debut!
This guy could easily be a top 5 welterweight. He is huge for welterweight and has great ground skills and stand-up and is only 23 and at Sanford, that's a good mix right there
Top 5 ? Calm down
No no top 15 maybe even then it’s a lot in a wrestling heavy division
Every young up and coming MMA star athlete says "I ll be champion one day", and then they get their dreams shattered once they get in the UFC.
the ones who actually became champion also said that.
Wish this young man the best
I love his story motivated me

So is maycee barbers lol
Nice to get to know the fighters and their struggles
Cage warriors next hope for a superstar. He’s even better than paddy but his personality draws more casuals.
I initially read this as "Ian, the future Gary" I'm like "Who the hell is Gary?🤔"
I cant wait. So many future champs coming up right now. Its really fun
I can’t wait to see that debut!
1:58 That is an absolutely uncanny photo of Notorious and Futureman. Ian Garry goes on to repeat exactly what the GOAT Conor did so far. Undefeated GW Champ and a KO on his UFC debut. Ladies and Gentlemen, The Future is the real deal.
I don't trust anyone with 2 first names

What a great story!!
I love watching the story behind the fighters,
This guy is gonna be champ some day you people laughing will see
Nobody knows that
Hasnt even won his debut yet
Slow down pal.
He is a Welterweight right? Ok let him win his debut and than feed him to khamzat. Im tired from these hyped fighters just because they are irish or british.
@@danijaldblr3388 the hype around Conor turned out to be true. Aspinall, Pimblett, Edwards, Lerone Murphy are all killing it too so stop hating
All this just to get outgrappled and submitted by a Russian
Fr tho ..
No.
Lets fucking go Ian, you got this lad
Well done best of luck from Ireland pal🇮🇪💚😎
I cant wait to see him fight, seems like he has really good stand up with his boxing background and kicks, but the welterweight is stacked with high-level wrestlers which is terrible for his fighting style.
Garry is a judo black belt
@@Fightconnoisseur96 he needs more than that man ...I want ds guy to go far in ufc ,n so in order to do that he needs to invest in wrestling more n more n more I guess???!
@@Fightconnoisseur96 Judo black belt isn’t going to do shit against a grinding D-1 wrestler.
Those Irish boys can punch but the wrestling isn’t the same over there. He’ll need to learn quickly on the job.
Yea my whole family lives in Ireland so I root for the Irish fighters but Europe in general just doesn’t have the wrestling pedigree of America and even crazier places like The Caucaucus mountain region all the way to Iran
He's in Sanford training with Brunson and Chandler he should improve rapidly
He has fairly good wrestling if you seen the jack grant fight
He's actually a decent wrestler. There's definitely holes but if you can beat jack, you are good because Jack's beaten some guys that are killers on the ground at Cage Warriors.
Decent doesn’t cut it though if he wants to be welterweight champion. The division is wrestling/grappling heavy with Usman, Covington, Khamzat, etc. having a lifetime of wrestling experience. Even Burns, who has world class BJJ, couldn’t handle with Usman’s grappling.
I like this guy. Let's go Ian the Irish behind you big man
Let's go ian garry ❤🇮🇪
I'd like to know what actually happened with his team just dropping him at the last minute. I feel like there's something hes not telling us🤷♂️
Felt the same way, somewhat of a red flag possibly
@@KallipolisCracks06 maybe but if you think about it he’s at Sanford now and I doubt they would take in someone that was bad
It doesn’t make any sense that his team dropped him ! he’s a promising young fighter with a future in the UFC. Why did his team part ways with him ? there must be more to this story.
im guessing pay. They probably wanted more since he was making a bit more
@@Saul1913 their statement said his fiancee became his manager and things went downhill from there. It says he was putting himself before other fighters, wanting special treatment, also apparently there were safety issues and that he put other fighters at risk and they let him go because he had become uncoachable. So yes, it was pay, but also apparently the kid had a very big ego and acted above everyone. That being said, well, yeah. He was above everyone, he was fighting for a championship. There's a 30 minute documentary on the kid and it shows his side of the story and actually shows he's not such a bad kid from what I can see.
@@RedceLL1978 He's young and dumb, I'm sure he got straightened out when he joined Sanford MMA.
Used to train with this guy at SBG swords he was always really nice to everyone and coached some classes occasionally. Dunno what really happened with the fallout with his team but I wish him the best of luck and hope he does well cos he's a good guy
Miss these kind of videos by the UFC. Slightly different from the embedded and countdowns. Love getting to know people's stories
one thing that creates a champion is not just a set of good skills. lots of fighters have a set of good skills. but are lots of fighters skilled in aquiring the mental strength and focus it takes to make that mental vision appear? no... I am more impressed by Ians mental strength for the game. He is going places here and is ready for his UFC run. lets go
If he still talks to his mother, he shat all over her in this 😂
He needs to step up his wrestling or he will never go far in the big leagues.
So true.
Did you watch Ian vs Jack grant?
@@bruh-gs3uc was gonna say this. The kid actually looks quite solid on the ground, Jack is a guy who's beaten some killers on the ground in Cage Warriors and he had nothing for Ian on the ground.
His wrestling isn't bad. His striking defence seems to be a bigger hole right now.
imagine this guy against Islam Makhachev man 😭😭😭😭 I don't think that his wrestling will ever reach such high level, he could work for the takedown defense though
I love it when the UFC does this style of video
Ireland is behind you bro, you are the future🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️
with khamzat in welterweight u aint goin no where my friend! all the best though.
All you need is blonde hair, an Irish or British accent and UFC will give you your own personal video and try to promote you to the MOON 🌚
They should start doing these vids for every new ufc fighter.
This is only the second episode in this series but they've done similar series that covered Khabib, Brian Ortega, Francis Ngannou etc.
It helps if you actually have a personality not like most US fighters
@@genie9193 what’s his personality dude ? His Irish accent ? He’s a normal person
Exactly baby! a personality is what is gonna make you money
Great too see a boxer back round make that transition too MMA.😉👍 There's alot of UFC fighters that have an amateur boxing back round and made that transition too MMA👍. All the best kid🍻
Way to go kid! I’m a fan!
