Ian Garry makes a bold prediction ahead of his fight against Geoff Neal
Ian Garry seems very confident in his ability to beat Geoff Neal when the pair face each other on Feb. 17. The Irishman will put his unbeaten record on the line against a fan favorite in Neal.
The American is looking to get back to winning ways after losing his last fight to Shavkat Rakhmonov. Ahead of their fight, Garry posted a TikTok video in which he said:
"Do you want to watch a man turn into a boy? Then watch Geoff Neal get his mouth punched in. And this, this isn't Geoff's fault. This isn't Geoff's fault, this is a beating because everyone's talking about me. And I'm gonna give a reason for people to talk. I'll give you a reason."

'The Future' has been on the receiving end of a lot of trolling lately, mainly because of the things he has said and done, like pulling out of UFC 296. He will look to silence the doubters on Feb. 17.
