Ian Garry is encroaching closer toward his fight with Carlos Prates this weekend, and the promo video released by the Irishman has gotten the internet talking. The UFC is returning to action with UFC Kansas set to go down on April 26, with this consequential contest at welterweight between Garry and Prates headlining the Fight Night card.
'The Future' dropped a clip indicating that he was born to take on whoever and whenever. There was also a bit of editing magic used to generate multiple versions of himself, with the theme in the voiceover being that he's afraid of no one, not even himself.
The Dubliner captioned the post:
"Born To Fight"

Ian Garry fires off at Carlos Prates, 'The Nightmare' responds
Ian Garry and Carlos Prates have been engaging in a bit of verbal warfare before their scheduled bout. Earlier this month, Garry began the trash talk by referring to Prates as a quitter and also saying that he would finish his looming opponent inside the distance.
The 27-year-old wasn't even the initially scheduled combatant for this card, as Garry is stepping up on short notice to fill in for Geoff Neal. This transpired after Prates' scheduled fight with Neal for UFC 314 fell out. It was not all that long before Prates responded to Garry's banter about him being a quitter and used his personal Instagram page to fire off.
"We're here training. While Ian Garry is talking s**t on the internet. You have a lot of free time. I'm here training. On the 26th I will fill him in with a punch in the mouth. Then he'll keep saying he didn't have time to train [while] he was on the internet talking s**t. A**hole."
