Ian Machado Garry’s rise to prominence in the UFC has been nothing short of meteoric. With an undefeated record of 15-0, the Irish welterweight phenom has captured the attention of MMA fans worldwide. However, Garry's path to stardom has been far from smooth. Recently, MMA Legend Din Thomas shed light on a controversial aspect of Garry’s journey—his alleged banishment from multiple MMA gyms due to his attitude and early self-belief.
In a recent interview, Thomas made a candid remark about why Garry was "shunned" by various training camps. "I think that his attitude... like he knew who he was before anybody else did, and that rubs fighters the wrong way a lot," Thomas said. "I think that he got shunned out of that gym and many other gyms because in his mind he was already that dude. He saw the vision before anybody else did. That rubs fighters the wrong way, they got rid of him, so he bounced around. But I do think that he's a very good and talented fighter."
Garry’s unwavering confidence, which some might call arrogance, has been both his greatest strength and a source of friction. It's a mindset that fuels his relentless pursuit of greatness, but it’s also one that doesn’t sit well in gym environments where respect and humility are often seen as prerequisites.
Despite this, Garry’s talent is undeniable. His striking, movement, and fight IQ have made him one of the most dangerous fighters in the welterweight division. This weekend at UFC 310, he’ll face his toughest test yet: an undefeated showdown against Shavkat Rakhmonov (18-0). With Rakhmonov’s well-rounded skill set and equally perfect record, this clash is a battle of wills and wits between two rising stars determined to remain unbeaten.
Garry has always thrived under pressure, and this fight is no different. While his journey to UFC stardom has been marred by gym controversies, his ability to overcome adversity in and out of the Octagon makes him a compelling figure. The question now is: will Garry’s self-belief and resilience carry him past Rakhmonov, or will this be the moment his confidence meets its match?
As fans await this high-stakes matchup, one thing is certain—Ian Machado Garry isn’t just fighting for a victory; he’s fighting to prove that his self-belief wasn’t just bravado, but destiny.
