Ian Machado Garry has stolen a lot of headlines heading into his UFC 296 matchup with Vicente Luque, and while more have been negative than positive, the undefeated welterweight is leaning into it.
“The Future” recently released a hype video ahead of his highly intriguing 170-pound tilt with prior teammate Luque, and addressed — and seemingly shrugs off — the haters.
Check out Machado Garry’s UFC 296 fight week hype video below.
Machado Garry hit topics such as being a Conor McGregor “fan boy,” getting allegedly kicked out of gyms, hating on his wife and family, being a hype train, and that he continues to win, and more.
Since signing with the UFC, the former Cage Warriors champ is 6-0 inside the octagon, which includes a first-round stoppage of Daniel Rodriguez at UFC Charlotte, and decision wins over Neil Magny and Kenan Song during his 3-0 2023 campaign. The 26-year-old can make a big statement if he’s able to knock off the dangerous Luque on the promotion’s final card of 2023.
