Ian Garry questions Michael 'Venom' Page's skills as a fighter ahead of UFC 303

Ian Garry recently shared his thoughts on Michael 'Venom' Page and his skills as a fighter ahead of their UFC 303 clash. Garry dismissed Page as an elite fighter and stated that he wasn't good enough to conquer the UFC welterweight division. He also predicted that the Englishman could call it a career after their fight.

During an interview with Scott Fontana of New York Post Sports, Garry revealed that he wasn't interested in facing Page at all and only accepted the fight to compete on the same as Conor McGregor. He said:

"I have zero interest in fighting MVP. I had zero interest then. I have zero interest now. I did it to fight on the sae card as Conor [McGregor] and people give him hype. People give him, 'Ah, he's this, he's doing that.' He never won a world title at Bellator, and he's had two opportunities to do it, and now he's coming to the UFC, which is the greatest organization in fighting, and he thinks he's going to come into this division and do what? Win a world title?"
