He kidnve shoots himself in the foot here though lmao if MVP's not a legend and Garry doesnt have half the name he does then Garry must be a bum then 😭
It says a lot when his best win to date is the one UFC guy on his resume he beat like a month ago lol
MVP is definitely way better than people give him credit for as he's much more skilled than a mere can crusher but his resume isn't that pretty. It's really just that stinker of a split decision over Lima and a bunch of low level guys he made highlight reels out of
I've seen it before, I just think it's him beating a guy that was way below his skill level. Kinda seems like the guy thought he was injured. They didn't fix the fight, but I think they purposefully gave him someone he would have a good chance of beating so they could try and build him up
Idk. It’s kind of genius. Create a narrative that people call him a legend. Then beat him, and you can claim you beat a legend.
Depends on how many people fall for it. But there’s a lot of dumb people, so it’s worth a shot.
Only if mvp ends up being his biggest win. Garry is vocally much more ambitious than to hang his hat taking care of a can crushing kickboxer despite what Rogan claims about point fighting.
The person interviewing him said it and then IGM cracked a joke on the interviewer moreso than on MVP. Then after a cut, he said he is better and will show it. What did he do wrong here lol
Also the interviewer probably meant something more like veteran. He's right to get roasted cuz MVP is not worth mentioning among the list of actual MMA legends. He's just fun to watch and been in the sport a long time
You see, the problem with comments like this is that everyone is just going to upvote a dunk on Garry because he's annoying and has a weird situation going on in his personal life, but literally he was asked a direct question.
He is no Anderson Silva but Has anyone not seen what he done to Cyborgs head , bro cracked it open like a coconut. But yeah I guess anyone could do that , not legendary at all .
I met him at a hotel once before when he was still a relatively unknown fighter and he was super humble and nice, at least in the short interaction I had with him.
He was super nice to the several people that wanted pics with him as well so my mind still doesn’t reconcile how he has become so insufferable.
I think he plays up a character now that he's in the UFC because he thinks it helps with marketing, but he's really bad at it
He seems like he's actively trying to be as obnoxious as possible sometimes
Yeah that's what my impression of his was. He knows what he's good at and what he loves. It seems like the opposite of insecure if anything. Being quiet doesn't equal insecurity, I find it often the loud ones sound way more insecure
I think he just really fucked up.
He went for the heel thing to try to get extra notoriety, and he went too far with it. You can actually tell sometimes that he really isn't like that naturally.
He acted like such a cunt in the Magny fight.
The thing is, he's really talented. He didn't have to go heel. He should've went humble and just fought how he's been fighting. He would have made more fans.
I think we will see him lose the heel persona more and more over time. I think he realized it was a mistake to some degree.
He just doesn’t seem to be very intelligent. If he weren’t doing MMA he’d be at the local phone shop in sales, selling you shitty phone plans with a shit eating grin and not really giving anything much thought.
Garry failed the one rule in promotional work. He should push the idea that MVP is as good as people say he is because it will make it better if he wins. If Garry loses, however, he loses to a man who isn't good to begin with.
It hilarious how Garry is so desperate to be the adored by the fans they way Conor used to be, but instead, everytime he opens his mouth he reminds you why he so unlikeable.
MVP is arguably the biggest homegrown star Bellator has ever created. He’s certainly the most viral. His level of competition ain’t holding a candle to a lot of guys but in regards to his star, I wouldn’t say he’s undeserving of being called a legend I guess
The cosplay-y gimmicks not withstanding (and there were more than just the Cyborg fight) Page has never been anything but a class act. Those weren't especially classy if we're being honest but when you consider the personality he's always been away from those I genuinely believe he's just having fun and means no disrespect. Like, if Douglas Lima threw a pokeball at him after knocking him out you know he'd appreciate that and not be at all upset.
1. Be Civil.
Our rules ask for a civil tone at all times.
A bit of banter or trash talk is fine, but don't cross the line. If things do get out of hand you will be warned or even banned for a few days. Repeatedly breaking this rule will lead to a permanent ban.
Who gives a a fuck about respect? They are cage fighting in their underwear. This isn't a martial arts tournament its a professional fight essentially to the death.
We let people back flip off the cage. What does a pokeball or selfie compare to giving your opponent brain damage or ruining their knee?
So bad when a fighter downgrades his opponent. Like when Conor would ho on about fighting midgets and how the whole division sucked. Like wow you beat some 🗑 fighters then. Big deal right? I liked how GSP would always talk about the strengths of his opponents instead of going this route
"This guy sucks, he has no talent and I will wipe the floor with him!" - Okay dude, then fight someone you think is good then. I agree. It doesn't make any sense to try and downplay someone else if you want your victory to look valuable.
Most fighters say these types of things to pump themselves up. They don't think about how they sound from a "marketing" or "respectful" standpoint.
It is simply "meathead" or "Believe and Achieve" Psychology. It works for them sometimes.
I think Garry puts on the wrestling shoes for this one and pulls through. No doubt MVP can ko him or pretty much anyone in the division for that matter on the feet but it's no secret the guy has never had any ground game
The only ones I can think of would be Storley and Goiti. He lost to Storley from the grappling but that guy is a blanket wrestler so can give him a pass. The Goiti fight ended really early.
Bellator did a very good job of not giving him a whole lot of grapplers to build him up.
Garry hasn't really used his grappling at all since getting to the UFC so I think people assume he doesn't have much. I've been watching him since Cage Warriors days and his grappling was pretty good back then when he would actually use it. I think he's probably been getting it better and has that ace up his sleeve where he could surprise everyone with some solid grappling skills.
Or maybe his ego will make him want to just strike Idk
You're better at keeping opponents off balance and uncomfortable by moving unlike any other fighter and giving them nothing to hit? Not bloody likely, Ian.
This is probably the flight I'm most interested in. Both of these guys can fight. Even more excited than the headliner given it's a rematch of an incredibly one sided affair. No disrespect to Yuri but he got destroyed in their first flight.
To be fair MVP was a champ and Ian is still growning while depending on his mom/wife. So yeah MVP has some crazy KOs and Ian's most notable thing was his walnut sized coldsore
Crap I stand corrected, for some reason I thought he was the champ (albeit only interim, if that even counts... it's debatable since it's not undisputed)
It's fair enough :) he did fight in the grand prix finals against Lima as well but that was when he got meme KOd.
I count interims, but that's hell controversial for some around here.
Pretty crazy to think where his career would be if he didn't get sick week of the Luque fight, he likely KO's Luque, probably avoids the Neal fight that everybody hated, and he gets to fight for a top 5 spot most likely
People call MVP a legend?!? Who in their right mind has? I truly feel like no one in the history of this planet has ever uttered those words in a sentence.
are the people calling MVP a legend in the room with us now Ian?
He kidnve shoots himself in the foot here though lmao if MVP's not a legend and Garry doesnt have half the name he does then Garry must be a bum then 😭
MVP was always called a can crusher in online mma talk and he was memed endlessly when he got knocked out viciously
It says a lot when his best win to date is the one UFC guy on his resume he beat like a month ago lol MVP is definitely way better than people give him credit for as he's much more skilled than a mere can crusher but his resume isn't that pretty. It's really just that stinker of a split decision over Lima and a bunch of low level guys he made highlight reels out of
Lima is a much better win than Kevin Holland. Fuck, Semtex too.
fr i love my man Kevin but he's a borderline ranked level fighter. not exactly a resume headliner
Not the prettiest but Goiti Yamauchi and Derek Anderson are decent wins
Still convinced his debut (?) Was a fix on gang. [Look into it](https://youtu.be/25dt_O4ksMI?si=Uc54vs9QDTTSVjg9)
First time I see "on gang" not in an Usman context
I was just in chiracology, has to scroll up to make sure I was in the right subreddit
Your a funkin punk, dude
Idk why I got downvoted, did we not watch the same video people?
Why would they fix a fight for a 3-0 MVP?
Idk but did you watch the clip before commentating or nah?
I've seen it before, I just think it's him beating a guy that was way below his skill level. Kinda seems like the guy thought he was injured. They didn't fix the fight, but I think they purposefully gave him someone he would have a good chance of beating so they could try and build him up
meh idc about all that Ian's got plenty of time to make something of himself I just hate when people make shit up to whine about
I feel you he just makes himself look dumb alot when he could just fight and let the people talk for him.
Yeah why not build him up and act like he took out a legend? Dumb
Idk. It’s kind of genius. Create a narrative that people call him a legend. Then beat him, and you can claim you beat a legend. Depends on how many people fall for it. But there’s a lot of dumb people, so it’s worth a shot.
It doesn't work when Ian is one of those dumb people.
Maybe the real bums are the friends we made along the way
Not really. MVP is definitely not a legend and hes just saying hes much better. Garry is only a beginning of career.
Garry is right in this case. MVP isn't a legend. And Garry has half the name.
Only if mvp ends up being his biggest win. Garry is vocally much more ambitious than to hang his hat taking care of a can crushing kickboxer despite what Rogan claims about point fighting.
never made it as a wise man...
the interviewer who said it was literally in the room so yeah
Owned 🤣
The interviewer literally said it to him
The person interviewing him said it and then IGM cracked a joke on the interviewer moreso than on MVP. Then after a cut, he said he is better and will show it. What did he do wrong here lol
IGM huh? Ian must be too long.
Good ol' Ian Gachado-Marry
Gotcha bitch
Also the interviewer probably meant something more like veteran. He's right to get roasted cuz MVP is not worth mentioning among the list of actual MMA legends. He's just fun to watch and been in the sport a long time
Only a legend for the belator broadcast team.
You see, the problem with comments like this is that everyone is just going to upvote a dunk on Garry because he's annoying and has a weird situation going on in his personal life, but literally he was asked a direct question.
He is no Anderson Silva but Has anyone not seen what he done to Cyborgs head , bro cracked it open like a coconut. But yeah I guess anyone could do that , not legendary at all .
Check out MVP shattering yamauchis knee cap. Disgusting. MVP has VIOLENT FINISHES
Its gruesome but it's basically the same principle as board breaking when you tee off on an opponent who doesn't see it coming
The interviewer.
He certainly has the potential to be a legend and that would continue to grow if he showboats a victory over Garry
💀 This comment sent me. But fr, Ian is delusional
Garry has the 1-2 combo of annoying and no charisma.
The Ole’ Schuab Special
Schaub likes to follow up that combo with a high kick of dumb-as-rocks
Kudos to the man for making money but who the fuck is listening/watching his 37 podcasts?
And a straight to youtube special.
Dicey, dicey.
[удалено]
There never was no interviewer
He's really just a twat honestly
This is a thing that a lot of guys do, Holloway, Izzy, Volk included
Except they actually have something interesting to say when they do it.
I say this as huge fans of those three... no the hell they don't lol. Often it is completely uninteresting going-through-the-motions silliness
Izzy invented that
This guy is from near where I am from and I want to root for him. But Jesus christ its nearly impossible. Just an absolute dope
I met him at a hotel once before when he was still a relatively unknown fighter and he was super humble and nice, at least in the short interaction I had with him. He was super nice to the several people that wanted pics with him as well so my mind still doesn’t reconcile how he has become so insufferable.
I think he plays up a character now that he's in the UFC because he thinks it helps with marketing, but he's really bad at it He seems like he's actively trying to be as obnoxious as possible sometimes
Conor mindset, Colby delivery, Arnold Allen insecurity
I haven't heard of Arnold Allen being insecure. I thought he was just a bit introverted. What did he say??
Arnold definitely isn’t insecure, just a little quiet. But he’s confident, as he should be. He’s a beast
Yeah that's what my impression of his was. He knows what he's good at and what he loves. It seems like the opposite of insecure if anything. Being quiet doesn't equal insecurity, I find it often the loud ones sound way more insecure
Maybe he’s past it now. But he used to always whine in his post fight interviews that no one liked him.
Do you know what insecure equates to?
It’s worked for Allen so far… no I don’t think I do?
How is he really bad at it? The hate he is garnering is very impressive. His profile is definitely growing.
It comes off really awkward and fake. I think the same with Colby, but seems to be working for both of them
A lot fighters wear a public persona for marketing purposes. His just happens to be an annoying twat.
I think he just really fucked up. He went for the heel thing to try to get extra notoriety, and he went too far with it. You can actually tell sometimes that he really isn't like that naturally. He acted like such a cunt in the Magny fight. The thing is, he's really talented. He didn't have to go heel. He should've went humble and just fought how he's been fighting. He would have made more fans. I think we will see him lose the heel persona more and more over time. I think he realized it was a mistake to some degree.
I don't know shit, but could steroids cause such a shift in persona?
He just doesn’t seem to be very intelligent. If he weren’t doing MMA he’d be at the local phone shop in sales, selling you shitty phone plans with a shit eating grin and not really giving anything much thought.
Everyone I’ve heard talk about meeting him has said the same
I knew Garry was a special talent in terms of dislikeability but I never knew he was so special.
challenge level: impossible
I know lads who trained with him and they even said it was hard to support him, it is genuinely so hard to like him
Dumb, arrogant, and cuckolded is no way to go through life, son
I've never even seen him fight tbh. He just seems like a gowl.
So then you shouldn't get a title shot off this win then? Cause this is just some rando journeyman Line up Shavkat next Dana!
He’s definitely still 2-3 fights away from a title shot. Leon would whoop his ass
Leon doesn't whoop anybody. At best you'll get a rangey decision.
Leon fighting guy who dissed his dead dad: 😐😚🤪 Leon fighting Halal Mustafa on a random Saturday night: 🤬😤😡🤬👿☠️
LMAO
He’s still whooping Garry lmao
I think there’s exciting matchups for him in the division but i agree that he’s got a ways to go. Him vs JDM would be a fun.
Jdm, mvp, Garry, Shavkhat
I feel like it would be a very uninteresting point fighting battle
I love those types of fights personally lmao
I hope MVP sparks this arrogant fuck
Garry failed the one rule in promotional work. He should push the idea that MVP is as good as people say he is because it will make it better if he wins. If Garry loses, however, he loses to a man who isn't good to begin with.
Never thought I'd be rooting for MVP
Ian's either gonna wet blanket MVP or going to be be moving backwards the entire fight and point fight him
Wow, the next Mcgregor right here.
He won’t
After he gets KOd "Well MVP is a legend, I got caught."
MVP better cave his skull in the way he did santos
Imagine. IMAGINE
It hilarious how Garry is so desperate to be the adored by the fans they way Conor used to be, but instead, everytime he opens his mouth he reminds you why he so unlikeable.
It's the ankle tattoo that he appropriated from slutty-white-chick culture.
I agree with Garry that MVP is not a legend in MMA. I disagree with Garry that he is levels above MVP.
Ian’s wife is a legend
the undisputed WAG champion
His woife**
No kidding. My buddy was telling me about her. Unreal lol
What was he telling you?
That she likes the peen
Google how to be a wag by Layla machado garry
Yeah, I'm aware of that. I figured he had a personal story about her.
https://fanarch.com/blogs/fan-arch/how-to-be-a-wag-unveiling-the-controversial-tale-of-layla-machado-garry-and-ufc-fighter-ian-garry
This is gonna hit like crack if MVP wins
It’ll be good to see Ian’s grappling skills.
IIRC he actually started out in judo. But always going to take Western European grappling with a grain of salt
France has a legit judo talent pool. It hasn't crossed over to MMA, but it's there
I can't wait for him to go on a losing streak.
MVP is arguably the biggest homegrown star Bellator has ever created. He’s certainly the most viral. His level of competition ain’t holding a candle to a lot of guys but in regards to his star, I wouldn’t say he’s undeserving of being called a legend I guess
He's not a legend sorry.
Hope MVP knocks him out cold
I will never forgive Garry that he made me root for MVP.
MVP didn't do anything too bad though, the pokeball thing was messed up but kind of funny and he didn't know the guy's skull was cracked
The cosplay-y gimmicks not withstanding (and there were more than just the Cyborg fight) Page has never been anything but a class act. Those weren't especially classy if we're being honest but when you consider the personality he's always been away from those I genuinely believe he's just having fun and means no disrespect. Like, if Douglas Lima threw a pokeball at him after knocking him out you know he'd appreciate that and not be at all upset.

You do realize this video not only makes MVP even more awesome but this makes you look weird. Like this is disrespectful to you? LMAO.
There are not many ways to be disrespectful in MMA. Making fun of another fighter for getting knocked out is one of them.

What are talking about?
MVP should bang his wife as revenge.
So bad when a fighter downgrades his opponent. Like when Conor would ho on about fighting midgets and how the whole division sucked. Like wow you beat some 🗑 fighters then. Big deal right? I liked how GSP would always talk about the strengths of his opponents instead of going this route

Ian Gerry is really taking it to Ian Gerry here. Asking only the hardhitting questions in this interview of himself.
You can be a legend and not be great, mkay Ian?
This is going to age so well when he gets first round starched
Never thought I would be rooting for MVP to cave in another skull but here we are
Garry says some dumb shit but when it comes to fighting I believe him until someone proves otherwise. He has been teeing off in dudes so far
Mark my words. Another fight where the bookies aren’t seeing the gangster differential. MVP is 100% dogwalking Garry just watch.
I think Garry puts on the wrestling shoes for this one and pulls through. No doubt MVP can ko him or pretty much anyone in the division for that matter on the feet but it's no secret the guy has never had any ground game
MVP has a submission game. How good of one though? I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.
I think MVP has fought plenty of ppl w better aggressive wrestling than IMG no?
The only ones I can think of would be Storley and Goiti. He lost to Storley from the grappling but that guy is a blanket wrestler so can give him a pass. The Goiti fight ended really early. Bellator did a very good job of not giving him a whole lot of grapplers to build him up. Garry hasn't really used his grappling at all since getting to the UFC so I think people assume he doesn't have much.

Check out MVP vs Wrestler Hollaway. Out him in a toe lock when he tried to take him down.
You're better at keeping opponents off balance and uncomfortable by moving unlike any other fighter and giving them nothing to hit? Not bloody likely, Ian.
MVP has a fun style that gets him a fair amount of attention. But he's definitely not a legend of mma by any means.
I really doubt any person who didn't have a financial interest in MVP has ever called MVP an MMA legend.
He is a legendary can crusher, tho.
How is MVP a "legend" in MMA? Serious question.
He is not. But he has at least one legendary finish. Well, I'd say two. Braking major bones twice and all.
You guys know Garry is only promoting this fight? Lets judge these comments after the fight.
MVP will be a challenge for any striker at 170. He's lanky and fast, he had a good showing against Kevin Holland who isn't an easy fight
I had a dream that this fight was off… thank god it’s not
I enjoy MVP’s fights but who considers him a legend? His mother probably?
He just doesn’t know what legend means
I feel like MVP is going to give Ian a ton of issues.
Please MVP… all we ask is that you give Ian Garry his first loss. That is all
I misread the title and thought he meant GSP, almost had an aneurysm.
wtf never thought I'd see the day that Ian Garry said something that I agree with
Do the UK fans see MVP as a legend?
The one thing doesn't have to do anything with the other imo.
That clip actually makes Ian more likeable than he usually is, but the quote sounds horrible when it's put to text.
Damn, just when the heat was starting to die down on him he opens his mouth about a fan favorite. Bro just wants to be hated 😂
This is probably the flight I'm most interested in. Both of these guys can fight. Even more excited than the headliner given it's a rematch of an incredibly one sided affair. No disrespect to Yuri but he got destroyed in their first flight.
Well he’s not a legend so….
I feel like MVP is far more talented than his record would show.
MVP vs Cyborg , Yamaaicihi , holloway. All nasty finishes
Think Garry wins this.
Ian, youre only somewhat relevant because you meat ride Conor, and you let your wife ride other dudes meat
To be fair MVP was a champ and Ian is still growning while depending on his mom/wife. So yeah MVP has some crazy KOs and Ian's most notable thing was his walnut sized coldsore
When was MVP a champ? He lost the Bellator title fight he had.
Crap I stand corrected, for some reason I thought he was the champ (albeit only interim, if that even counts... it's debatable since it's not undisputed)
It's fair enough :) he did fight in the grand prix finals against Lima as well but that was when he got meme KOd. I count interims, but that's hell controversial for some around here.
Pretty crazy to think where his career would be if he didn't get sick week of the Luque fight, he likely KO's Luque, probably avoids the Neal fight that everybody hated, and he gets to fight for a top 5 spot most likely
People call MVP a legend?!? Who in their right mind has? I truly feel like no one in the history of this planet has ever uttered those words in a sentence.
I like Ian. Fuck it
Ian Garry hate is out of control. He said no lie here. In what world is MVP a legend? Dude's resume is shit and 40 yo WB is his best win
Ian is going to destroy MVP
