I'm far from an Ian Garry fan but he will hit his stride in a year or 2 when his actual octagon experience accumulates and he develops more tools in his arsenal which will make him more confident. It will probably result in more entertaining fights or he goes full Jon Fitch.

He should fight an Indian or Chinese fighter next.

He’s a weight bully who uses his size advantage over every opponent to stay on the outside and avoid the fight. Guarantee his wife leaves him a couple years after his fall from grace.

I don't remember anyone saying he will be the biggest star or the best striker in MMA. Haters say he is a bum and unbiased people say he has a boring, safe but effective style

he said he was the best striker in the UFC and would prove it against MVP. Then he panic wrestled to a D victory

Him and Leon fought very similarly. Maybe that would be the fight to make?

Another thread full of drooling meatheads complaining about a fighter going for the “hit and don’t get hit” strategy instead of sacrificing their braincells just so some morons get a shred more entertainment value.

Reminded me of that video with Ian flailing on all fours with Mr Nutrition quickly closing the distance with his cucumber from behind.

It's no wonder Ian can never finish a fight.

Yes, with this Tony guy announcing, not Buffer.

The way that was screenshotted it could've been captioned by a million different things unrelated to any cuckery and it still would've been hilarious. Fuck, the caption wouldn't even have to be particularly funny, it's just a funny ass screenshot.

He mixes them up well but he’s not the best at any of the martial arts. The fact he has to rely on his wrestling against MVP , shows he can’t hang with the big dogs. He has good striking , good jiu jitsu, decent takedowns, but he’s not the best at any of them, and his striking is overrated.

He is a defensive fighter and his style seems to focus on neutralizing the opponent’s offense first before he goes on the offense.

He should be tested not a gimme.

He is tall but very far from a weight bully. He had the least weight gained from weigh in to cage side weigh-in of any non-heavyweight on the card when he fought in California. I believe he weighed under 180 at fight time which would make him one of the smaller 170s

Fight IQ won, and lost, that fight last night. Period.

 

[BroScienceTalkatWork]

Does star just mean striker these days?

 

[MigitAs]

Ian Garry is just not the guy we hoped he would be. He’s a boring fighter who looks for decision wins, he got badly out-struck by MVP , and had to wrestle for the entire fight to barely squeak out a win. He got dropped by a small Chinese guy 2 years back.

Ian Garry the ‘best striker in the ufc’, couldn’t even outstrike a 40 year old MVP. His only wins are against aging journeymen , and his performances are almost always worse than they should have been. He just won last night by decision, and ended the fight by nearly getting flatlined by ground and pound for a minute straight, slipping around the octagon like there’s banana peels on the mat.

This guys a dying star, if he ever was one, his wife cuckery mixed with his boring decision point fighting style, has flatlined his stardom.

He is cancer in terms of likability and star-power, for this reason UFC could and should keep him away from a title shot.

Only on Sherdog can you land way more strikes against a Muay Thai guy and have everyone call you shit.

He was tooling patches up for the first half of that fight tbf. Questionable chin, but he mixes the martial arts well.

I wouldn't describe it as "tooling." There were no knockdowns or big moments. I can't even remember him wobbling Prates. It was textbook solid point fighting, no doubt.

The only guy who got meaningfully hurt the entire fight was Garry in the 5th. Prates lacks 5 round experience and didn't have a good concept on how he should be pacing himself. Garry is legit world class at point fighting.

Prates will improve from the experience, but I think we've already seen Garry's upper potential.

Garry is doing fine
Sherdog on the other hand…

I thought he looked a decent bit smaller than Prates tbh
