Undefeated UFC prospect Ian Garry is on a roll with six straight wins after joining the promotion in 2021.
As he’s slowly but steadily climbing the welterweight rankings, the Irish fighter has one dream fight in mind.
“It would have to be in the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland as my dream venue because they’re never going to go to Croke Park,” Garry told Sporting Post. “And the dream opponent would be me versus Khamzat Chimaev because everyone talks about him like he’s this badman and this boogeyman, but in time I’m going get a chance to lay hands on him.”
“If he’s the baddest man that everyone is afraid of I’m going to show the world what’s up. He’d be my dream opponent in Ireland. I want that fucking wolf. I want that badman. I want to be the baddest man on Earth, and everyone considers it to be him at the moment, but let me punch the mouth off him and we’ll see what’s up.”
However, the hometurf dream fight against “Borz” will have to wait for the Irish prospect.
Chimaev is scheduled to face Brazil’s Paulo Costa at UFC 294 in October, and UFC president Dana White has let it be known that the promotion has no plans to come to Ireland in the near future.
Ian Garry comes from a stellar performance against the dangerous veteran Neil Magny at this past weekend’s UFC 292.
