O’Hearn and Garry are both lovers of combat sports and were seen during the promotional event of Karate Combat.

Despite very little experience in martial arts, O’ Hearn did a great job of absorbing Garry’s kick. Although it also looked like he would not have been able to take another blow. The video became viral as people were taken aback by the unexpected duo.

However, ‘The Future’ has no intentions of rushing it. Garry has already a plan in place for his next fights in UFC. According to Ian Garry, he does not want people to doubt his claim for a title shot when the time comes. To prevent that from ever happening Ian has a six-fight plan in place. “ I want to do two between 15 and 10, I want to do two between five and ten and two between one and five before I get the title shot. That’s six fights against the elite of the elite to prove myself to the fans, to the organization,” said Garry.

Ian Garry has already garnered praise from fellow Irishman Conor McGregor and UFC commentator Joe Rogan for his performance. The Future has called out welterweight fighter Neil Magny for his next bout and a spot in the Top 10.
