Hitting headlines in the weeks leading up to his high-stakes clash with Kill Cliff FC teammate, Vicente Luque at UFC 297 next month, undefeated welterweight contender, Ian Machado Garry has compared himself to God after the former recently received his baptism – leading to a slew of mocking posts about the Dubliner on social media.
Machado Garry, the current number ten ranked welterweight contender, has been sidelined since he turned in a unanimous decision win over perennial contender, Neil Magny at UFC 292 back in August of last year, landing his thirteenth straight professional victory.
As for Luque, the Brazilian-American contender, who holds the current number eight rank at welterweight, snapped a two-fight losing skid back in Augus to boot in a main event clash with former undisputed lightweight champion, Rafael dos Anjos, landing a unanimous decision victory at the UFC Apex facility.
