Ian Garry's thoughts on being compared to the Irish superstar Conor McGregor

Just like Conor McGregor back in the day, Ian Garry has also had a pretty incredible start to his UFC career. 'The Future' is currently 6-0 in the multi-billion dollar promotion, which includes victories over fighters like Daniel Rodriguez and Neil Magny.

Ever since his debut in the UFC, fans have been drawing parallels between 'The Future' and McGregor. During a press conference in April 2022, Garry reacted to the comparisons with 'the Notorious' and said that McGregor was a huge inspiration behind his getting into the world of MMA.

"It's awesome. Even the fact that people say that I'm the next him, or they compare me to him, it's f**king cool. They're comparing to someone who literally is the reason I feel like I'm in the sport, because I wanted to be like him."
