Irish welterweight Ian Garry did well on his UFC debut last November, picking up a first round finish to remain undefeated at 8-0 in his career. Ahead of his UFC 273 bout, the 24-year-old prospect aptly nicknamed ‘The Future’ credits his improvements to moving to the US to work with Henri Hooft and others at Sanford MMA.
He compared his career decision to the one from Conor McGregor, his more popular countryman that decided to stay with his SBG camp in Ireland.
“There’s obviously advantages to staying in Ireland. Like if I stayed in Ireland, I’d be the guy,” Garry told Sherdog.
