“You know where to find me,” Sean Strickland details running into ‘victim’ Ian Garry and calls to settle beef without security involvement

The focus in the build-up to UFC 296 is not only on the fights but also on the heated rivalry between Sean Strickland and Ian Garry. Tensions between the two erupted after a book written by Garry’s wife came up. This prompted criticism and shots from rival fighters, with Sean Strickland being among the most vocal.

The two combatants had a nasty run-in at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas. Strickland didn’t hesitate to document the awkward interaction on social media. He explained what happened in a video clip, stating that Ian Garry stared him down and required security to intercede and escort them around. This is what Strickland said:

If you’re feeling some kind of way and want to get this sh*t handled, and you want to look at me hard and that is what you want, slide up in the DMs. I don’t want it but if that is what you want, you know where to find me man.

This public call-out adds a new layer to the already intense animosity.  Sean Strickland presumably asked Garry to settle their disputes outside the UFC PI and without security intervention. His message is blunt and combative, implying a real desire to settle the difficulties more personally and directly.

Meanwhile, Ian Garry is preparing for a big fight at UFC 296 against his former colleague Vicente Luque. The outcome of this fight will significantly impact Garry’s future in the UFC. His continuing animosity with Strickland surely adds a layer of intensity to the storyline surrounding his expected fight.

Ian Garry hints at a possible move to middleweight to fight Sean Strickland

The rising UFC welterweight contender Ian Garry has hinted at a possible move up to the middleweight division. This is driven by his continuing dispute with the current middleweight champion, Sean Strickland. Garry, also known as ‘The Future,’ is scheduled to meet Vicente Luque at UFC 296 on December 16. Previous clashes and issues with Strickland have prompted him to explore a weight class shift.

Garry voiced his anger at the unwanted attention and comments he had received on Instagram. He said he worked harder as more people talked and wanted to prove the haters wrong. He further stated that this was not fuel to him but just an irritant, and he might have to move up to middleweight to get rid of this before going for the welterweight belt.

Garry immediately focuses on his welterweight match against Vicente Luque at UFC 296. The potential of a middleweight championship challenge adds a fascinating element to the unfolding story of Ian Garry’s UFC career.
