Ian Garry recently leveled some serious allegations against Michael 'Venom' Page ahead of their UFC 303 showdown. The Irishman accused the Englishman of trying to buy training-related information from his Chute Boxe teammates.
It's no secret that Garry and Page have no love for each other. The two striking savants have been trading verbal jabs throughout the build-up to UFC 303 and rarely have polite things to say about each other. Their rivalry was on full display at the pre-fight presser, where Garry ripped into Page and predicted a suspension in the Englishman's future.
During the press conference, 'The Future' accused Page of trying to bribe his Chute Boxe teammates for training information. He claimed Page's jiu-jitsu coach offered his "thousands" for the information and stated:
"Did you and your team offer thousands of dollars to get information in Chute Boxe from my boys? Did you send someone a message and offer thousands for information. And you couldn’t infiltrate the camp. You couldn’t get into it. The Chute Boxe family is too tight. Your little rat jiu-jitsu coach offered money to one of my Brazilian friends, and you got nothing."

Garry continued:
"All I know is you’re suspended after this fight. You’re never fighting again after this fight. You and your jiu-jitsu coach are getting suspended for life." [H/T MMAJunkie.usatoday.com]

Ian Garry vows to "dog walk" Michael 'Venom' Page at UFC 303
Ian Garry is supremely confident of getting a dominant victory over Michael 'Venom' Page at UFC 303. The Irishman recently discussed his opponent's fighting skills and imitated the former Bellator star's striking stance.
During an interview with ESPN MMA, Garry and Page were asked to emulate each other's styles. 'The Future' went first and mimicked Page's unorthodox striking stance, stating:
"That's it, he only has a right hand... I'm gonna dog walk him. Put a f**king leash on him and walk him around that cage."
On the other hand, Page declined the request and said:
"No... It's not worth stressing up my body."
