Irish lad Ian Garry's UFC career has been stellar so far. With an impressive first-round knockout win against the experienced Daniel Rodriguez earlier in May, it looks like 'The Future' can do nothing wrong.

Garry, however, is not looking for easy fights and is only entertaining challenges from fighters above his own ranking. Such was made evident when he was called out by fellow 170-pounder and devastating knockout artist Joaquin Buckley at the UFC PI.

In a recent video posted on the Irishman's Twitter, he can be seen brutally shooting down a callout by Buckley to his face. He said:

"You are not ranked, you were offered to fight a ranked guy, you said no. Then you start wanting to fight me... I'm fighting 8th in the world, why would I look down? when I'm going this way [pointing up]... why would I go backward when I'm trying to be the best in the world?... I don't give a f**k if you've got a name. If your rankings is not higher than mine, [I want] nothing to do with it."
