Ian Machado Garry has had a steady rise in the world of MMA. His unbeaten streak continues, and he sits at number 13 in the UFC welterweight rankings. Garry began his career in the Cage Warriors and was the welterweight champion there. Like his idol Conor McGregor, his life outside the octagon also garners significant attention. Recently, Garry claimed on the internet that he has a football jersey from the football superstar Lionel Messi.

A bizarre link-up happened during a golf competition in Miami. According to Garry, Messi put his matchday Inter Miami jersey on the line for a golf bet. Garry said, “If I win, I want that. He went to the game without a shirt.” After his transfer from Paris Saint Germain (PSG), the world cup winner is playing in the MLS.

Bystanders have recently spotted Messi multiple times in the USA. Garry’s claim over the free jersey is highly probable. Only once before has a crossover of this magnitude been executed, and similarly, it was carried out by an Irishman. Cristiano Ronaldo visited McGregor during his preparations for the Nate Diaz rematch back in 2016. Such instances help promotion for all parties.

Neil Magny is the opponent lined up for Garry in his next fight at UFC 292. He will be looking to keep his undefeated record clean. There are high chances for him to get the win considering his outstanding performances with other opponents.

The undefeated record of Ian Machado Garry is something to fear. Before debuting in the UFC, Garry was the welterweight champion at Cage Warriors. In the UFC, too, he has fought five welterweights and dominated all of them. His striking and fight IQ is a dangerous weapon.

The weight class is dominated by fighters like Leon Edwards, Kamaru Usman, and Colby Covington. In such a competitive division, Garry is doing all he can to make a mark. The Irishman will be fighting again in the upcoming UFC 292.

Neil Magny will be going against Garry in his upcoming bout. The experience that Magny possesses may cause some problems for Garry. He must give it his all to keep his record clean and win his 13th fight.
