Media Ian Garry fires back at Sean Strickland

[usernamee]

He only dared to speak up when he got some free ammunition..

 

[michi972]

Ian got roasted so badly by everyone that he will never have ammo against anyone

 

[Copper Burner]

"Man weight," haha. You probably shouldn't be talking about understanding weight classes

Yeah, man weight. Sean is fighting guys like Dricus, while Garry is fighting guys like Neil Magny.

Strickland would look like a ko artist if he fought Garry.

 

[corrupted]

Absolutely brilliant. Garry Machada putting his relationship with his shot calling wife in the same spectrum of issues when being discussed... He married a much older woman who had a book out there about snagging young athletes ... if that were a man and Garry was a woman - it would not even be funny to most. Sean was abused as a child by a grown adult in a family setting ... Any similarity there is a little lost on me... But on Garry ... If he is suggesting that they are similar in any way. ... seems to be likening his own marriage to Sean's upbringing. Which makes what Sean was saying is right ... Garry's also being abused. And he knows...


Give us a sign Garry. We'll send Jim Tim Ballard round asap.

You sound fat

 

[Iroh]

No, I see how lame he is just fine. Just like I see how fake Sean's act is just fine. And just like how I see what people who unironically use phrases like "beta", "soyboy", and "cuck" are like just fine.

My eyes are good

Why do you think it's fake?

 

[Ares Black]

Concession noted

 

[Ares Black]

Sean fights at man weight. Ian would be put on his back foot immediately and then beaten up and finished within a round.

What is it about weight classes that you do not understand?

Lol, you do know Strickland fought most of his career at WW, right?

You can pretend that he's way bigger than Garry if you want. He isn't.

 

[Ares Black]

Among other things

 

[Iroh]

Lol indeed. And Ian Garry is fucking huge at WW. People were bitching and moaning about Khamzat's size, but Garry might just be bigger.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Why do you think it's fake?

I don't think he's acting. I just know the wanna-be alpha tough guy exterior that he and people like him put on is thinner than paper, and Sean's already demonstrated that. Shit never holds up to testing

 

[Lawrence]

Ugh. Sean is being a disingenious fuck with the way he's being a morale police now after talking about plenty of fighters wives, mocked Khalils depression, mocked a dead girls record etc.... But I think i'd still root for his ass if this fight ever happened.

Both are trash. Moving on.

When is the next UFC card? This TMZ, days of our lives shit needs to stop and mods should consider a Strickland merge thread. Toxic shit going on right now.

Very good post Bro.

If we were watching some fights, this shit would not be on our minds....

Unless Anik brought it up and we had the volume too high

Meh, it's just double sided, IMO. I think he can definitely be tough in certain tough situations, especially physical situations. But not so tough in other situations.

There are many forms of toughness. Like it's tough dealing with a bunch of rebelious kids as a teacher or a parent, which takes a completely different kind of skill set and toughness, than fighting.

Or dealing with internet trolls can be tough for some people, as is often clear on SD. Again a different kind of situation and a different mental toughness needed.

Agreed, but people of that mentality don't ever seen to afford that kind of thought towards situational toughness. They think it's all or nothing, and hold a shitty "standard" they can't match

 

[burningspear]

Kind of pathetic considering the way he disses everyone, Garry has every right to twist the knife.

But I think he is still honest about it if he doesn't live up to his own questionable standards. Like I'm pretty sure he said he fought like a bitch in the fights that he just coasted and point fought, basically.

I agree, that it's way too black and white and simplistic how he often talks about "man stuff", but honestly that's how most people see "man stuff', to an extent. He is just more loud about it.

It's also a consequence of all the trauma he suffered. The intense emotion inside him he feels he needs to keep in check with very strict/absolute standards, which leads to intense situations. It's hard to be nuanced when you come from a very unnuanced background. But he at least seems to be trying to change for the better, but that's a gradual and slow process.

He also says he is not someone people should look up to. Even though he seems to preach manliness and stuff.
He is aware that he isn't the epitome of what he considers manliness either.

Strickland outed himself already when he started bitching and moaning about people mocking him being beaten by his dad when he factually deserved them coming at him from that angle.

 

[chinarice]

Yeah, man weight. Sean is fighting guys like Dricus, while Garry is fighting guys like Neil Magny.

You seem to have missed the part where Strickland, like Robert Whittaker, was beaten out of the WW division.

I'll give him the credit that he's not trying to be a Andrew Tate like influencer, and has more of a reason to be a douche than he does. For whatever that's worth

dumb and dumber in action... there is no winner here...
