The Irish Valleries Ian Garry set its goal in the welterweight title and begins to pave his own path as an MMA super -star with an impressive victorious run.

Garry spoke about the current MMA scene and compares Ilia Topuria’s growth and influence for Spain with Conor McGregor and his influence on Irish MMA, and also predicted a potential fight with Khamzat Chimaev and a resentment between Paddy Pimblett and Ili Topuria.

Talking with Covers.comUFC warrior Ian Machado Garry said:

  • It would be a “dream come true” to see how Conor McGregor fights live – I don’t care if we share the card
  • What Conor McGregor for Ireland MMA, Ilia Topuria does for Spain MMA
  • If UFC wants me to fight Sean Brady – the answer is like that
  • I am in an interview to fight Jacek della Maddalen for the title
  • Khamzat Chimaev never fought anyone like me
  • Paddy Pimblett against Ilia Topuria – one of the biggest fights in history

Ian Machado Garry: It would be a “dream” to see how Conor McGregor is fighting live, Paddy Pimblett vs Ilia Topuria one of the biggest fights in the history of UFC, I will fight Sean Brady, but I talk to Jacek Dela Maddalena

It would be a “dream come true” to see how Conor McGregor fights live – I don’t care if we share the card

I don’t even know if I want to share a bleeding card with this guy [McGregor]. I just want to see how a man fights live. I am there. I don’t care if we don’t fight the same night. I just want to see how he fights live.

I have never been able to see Conor cards; Program, gathering, noise, everything live – it would be a more fulfilled dream than sharing a card with it, to be straightforward.

What Conor McGregor did for Irish MMA, Ilia Topuria does MMA for Spain

What Conor McGregor She did it for Ireland in MMA, Ilia does in Spain for MMA. I met with Ilia in Spain. I went to his house and trained him. I saw what he was doing [growing MMA popularity] At a concert in which I was, which was the WOW FC card.

Until recently, MMA was not legal in Spain and would have an absolutely huge role to play, becoming a world champion. Going with the UFC belt in Santiago Bernabeu during the Real Madrid game.

All this has to play when your country has a world champion in sport – it matters. So what Conor did Irish MMA, Ilia Topuria will do for Spanish MMA.

If UFC wants me to fight Sean Brady – the answer is like that

It’s a fight he [Sean Brady] He wants and this is not a arduous fight to organize. The truth is that it’s about what UFC wants? They are a brand, they fight in battle, and if they want to see how I fight anyone, they know that they get “yes”.

I am someone who will fight anyone, anywhere and time. And, for example, Sean Brady, is not a arduous fight to organize. It’s just whether UFC wants it or not.

I am in an interview to fight Jacek della Maddalen for the title

I talk 100% about shots in Jacek della Maddalen.

There is no major name now that you can mention in the division, apart from mine – you can put any other there, but the argument is that I am the biggest draw, and if you put anyone who versus me in the world title, it would be the biggest fight.

Paddy Pimblett against Ilia Topuria – one of the biggest fights in history

Paddy was phenomenal. You can’t just praise what he did and how he did it. He went out there. He corrected everything he said.

He was beaten and defeats everyone who was erected before him, looked great and has such popularity inside and outside the octopus, does what he must, and does a very good job in it.

Paddy and Ilia are a massive, massive fight if this happens. It will be so massive, so massive. I think it’s a stadium [fight]. It will be one of the biggest fights we’ve ever seen.

Khamzat Chimaev never fought anyone like me

I am not afraid of anyone and I believe that I can beat everyone in this sport. If this is a way to do it, I can find it. I think Khamzat is phenomenal in what he does. I just believe that he didn’t fight anyone who could do him what I could.

I love the challenge and it would be absolutely a challenge. And with what he did in his career and how he did it. That would excite me.

Islam Makhachev against Jack della Maddalena is a “phenomenal” fight

Size matters, and when you give up an additional 15 pounds to move the division – yes, Islam Makhachev It is huge and yes, Islam is forceful and we know that it is over 155.

We know that it probably goes around 180–190-but Jack is simply a bigger man and I watch [Islam’s] Fighting with Alex Volkanovski and Dustin Pourier and I see these fights, yes, Islam looked great, and Islam did what he had to do. But Jack is a greater man. It hits harder. Everything is more undergoing.

I believe that the size of the size will be vital. This is the biggest factor. Is Islam consistently taking guys of this size and keeps them? How does his strength versus Jacek’s strength fits? Stylistically a phenomenal fight. Is Islam huge enough to be a welterweight when you look at it compared to Jacek? Let’s find out.
