Many believe that Garry has been feeding off McGregor’s fame as an Irishman, ever since entering the UFC.

Garry will fight Neil Magny this weekend at UFC 292. During the press conference, the argument between Garry and Magny became really heated. Garry proceeded to use a famous catch phrase of McGregor during the verbal exchange. “You’ll do what you’re told”, he said. Fans clearly did not support this impersonation of McGregor and demanded something original. “IMG wants to be Conor so bad. Get your own personality bro”, a fan wrote.
