Undefeated UFC welterweight Ian Garry is on controversial waters due to his marriage to his wife, Layla Anna-Lee. Garry first faced negative comments from many, including Sean Strickland, after he changed his surname from Garry to Machado-Garry. Machado is the maiden name of his wife. This was followed by his online feud with MMA G*ru, a popular MMA analyst.

Strickland provided his take on the matter. He criticized the marriage in a recent social media post. Ian Garry responded by threatening to sue Strickland. Strickland leaked messages of the conversation. This is what Sean Strickland told Garry on their private chat:

The feud with MMA G*ru was a result of a book by Layla Anna-Lee. She wrote the book ‘How to be a WAG?‘. It was published in 2012. The 11-page guidebook offered tips to aspiring ‘WAGs’. It was deemed as predatory by MMA G*ru.

Moreover, her ex-husband, Richard Cullen is the nutritionist of Garry. This caused Strickland to criticize Garry for his marriage yet again. Strickland’s criticism of the marriage was due to her being 14 years older, having a child with her ex, and the surname change.

Ian Garry and Strickland have fights lined up in the upcoming PPV events. Garry will be facing Vicente Luque at UFC 296, while Strickland will headline UFC 297 in Vancouver against Dricus Du Plessis. Garry is undefeated in his professional MMA career and recently trained with Conor McGregor. He even recalled a fanboy moment while training with McGregor in a recent interview.
