Ian Garry Activity Appreciation Thread

[Deleted member 585708]

I did one of these for Israel Adesanya, and something similar for Sean Strickland, too.

Some guys just deserve credit.

Ian Garry is 6-0 in the UFC, and has only been signed for 21 months.

Gilbert Urbina has been signed for longer than that and is 1-1.

Ramiz Brahimaj has been signed for a full year longer than Garry and is 2-2.

The most celebrated heavy schedule dudes like Donald Cerrone only fought marginally more frequently than this (7 fights in his first 19 months), but Garry doesn't seem to get a lot of credit for his ability to fight regularly.

I think this is a fantastic achievement for Garry, and to storm straight to the #11 ranked spot at 170 lbs?

Awesome stuff.

You don't have to like Garry's fights or his persona or whatever he does that annoys you - but you do have to respect that schedule.

Have not been following him. Have most of these been favorable match ups?

Odds-wise yes, but then most fighters eventually lose a fight they're heavily favoured in, especially if they're coming in to the UFC with 7 fights on their record.

D-Rod and Magny are serious wins for someone with so little experience.

Now if only he could stay this active, but not talk at all.

Ian Garry, the possible future GOAT? It's entirely possible.

 

[Slapjit]

So sad that despite being so active, he still suffer from homelessness.

I was so sad when he bring it up on UFC Embed. May Future Ian Garry continue to follow his passion in life, and maybe one day he can drive Bugatti too!

I can't get past the thing with him taking his wife's ex-husband's name.

 

[Luthien]

Khamzat was active once

That's a strange thing to get hung up on.

A lot of guys are active as they work their way up the ranks. But once they reach the top of their respective division, they magically become rankings squatters. And once they win the belt, forget about it. Shout out to guys like MM, Izzy, and Usman for being active champions.

Let us know when Garry gets to the top of the division and continues fighting 2-3 times per year.

Garry didn't take her ex-husband's name lol, it's her maiden name. She was born Layla Machado.

This is just one of those smear jobs to make Garry out to be some kind of cuck lol.

Izzy is still pretty damn active for an elite fighter!

That literally never happened. It's his wife's maiden name. Her exes name is Richard Cullen.

Especially since it isn't true.

fair enough, and good on him I guess

it’s just harder to give respect to someone who is receiving Dana White privilege, that’s all.

but you are right that is an active schedule.

Just a pitty he says some of the things he does

So Garry is not his own family name, or is?

To be fair, also, Dana White privilege relies on reliable matchmaking...

Which is definitely not as easy as it seems!

I hope he makes 10x more serious accusations against every one of his future opponent. The butthurt will be glorious.

 

[KOPPE]

Khamzat was active once

until...

 

[Deleted member 585708]

until...

He was active after that...
