Remains perfect in UFC
WelterweightUFC
June 29, 2024
Garry defeated Michael Page via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 303 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Garry deserves credit for recognizing what was working and sticking with it. He's a striker by trade, known for using his power and massive length to his advantage. Yet, Garry was losing the stand-up exchanges between the two and relied on his grappling instead. He almost choked MVP out on multiple occasions in Round 1. He went back to the grappling in Round 3, and while he did no significant damage, it was enough to win the frame. Garry is now 8-0 in the UFC with wins over the likes of Page, Geoff Neal and Neil Magny. He's not for everyone, but his talent is undeniable.

Remains undefeated as pro
WelterweightUFC
February 17, 2024
Garry defeated Geoff Neal via split decision (30-27, 28-29, 30-27) at UFC 298 on Saturday in Anaheim.
ANALYSIS
It wasn't the overwhelming effort some expected from Garry as a -250 favorite, but the bottom line is that he remains undefeated as a professional, and he deserved to win this fight. Ian, at age 26, is a high-level striker who is exceptional at using his 6-foot-3 frame to his advantage. Neal had all sorts of issues consistently getting inside against Garry. The vast majority of his offensive flurries were one-and-done. The UFC has done a nice job of building Garry up. The company gave him a handful of easy fights early on and has gradually increased his competition level. Now a perfect 7-0 with the company, Ian's last three wins are over Neal, Neil Magny and Daniel Rodriguez. That's far from the top of the food chain at 170 pounds, but each is a quality victory. Garry, like him or not, is trending in the right direction.
