Amid all the recent drama and backlash, Ian Garry has seemingly found an ally in welterweight standout Gilbert Burns.
Garry has been the subject of many headlines over the last few months, much of which surrounds an unconventional relationship with his wife, Layla Anna-Lee. After fans and fighters alike learned that Anna-Lee, who is 14 years older than Garry, wrote a book teaching older women how to date young athletes and celebrities, the couple found themselves defending their relationship against hateful comments from the MMA community, including reigning UFC middleweight champ Sean Strickland.
Speaking with MMA Junkie, Burns questioned why fans and media outlets have targeted Garry so extensively before essentially answering his own question.
