The UFC 296 event is shaping up to be one of the most stacked cards of the year. UFC head honcho Dana White recently announced many fights for both the UFC 295 and 296 events. However, his most recent announcement featured Irish superstar Ian Garry. White revealed that Garry will be facing #10 ranked welterweight Vicente Luque who is one of the most well-rounded welterweights.

White took to Instagram where he revealed the welterweight matchup to the fans. He spoke about the two title fights as well as the recently announced matchups. White said, “I got another one for you, Vicente Luque vs. Ian Garry. No 10 vs. No 11 of the welterweight division. This card is stacked and bada*s.” The fight may also see the winner getting into the top five of the division.

Garry is one of the most impressive and rising prospects in the UFC. His fight IQ and striking prowess are unmatched. Garry is on a 13-fight win streak and does not wish to slow down at all. He recently fought and defeated Neil Magny in their much-anticipated match at UFC 292. However, Garry is also famous for his outspoken personality and trash-talking abilities.

Luque is one of the most well-rounded fighters with an exceptional work rate. He recently defeated Rafael Dos Anjos in his last fight to bounce back from a two-fight losing streak. There is no doubt that the fight between Luque and Garry promises to be an exciting one as both fighters are exceptional in their skills.
