As an Irishman, Ian Machado Garry grew up idolizing countryman Conor McGregor, so the chance to share the main card at UFC 303 with the former two-division champion felt like a dream come true. Unfortunately, injury forced McGregor out of the contest, but Garry will still appear opposite Michael “Venom” Page.
It’s a key matchup at 170 pounds, but the No. 7-ranked Garry believes he is simply the technically superior fighter and will prove it Saturday night in an event that airs live on ESPN+ pay-per-view from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Ahead of the matchup, Garry spoke to Grind City Media’s John Morgan.
