Ian Garry Is Back & Nobody Cares? I Think He May Have Ruined His Star Potential.

In this video I discuss Ian Garry and his media day during UFC 298 fight week. His interviews aren’t getting tons of views as he would have gotten if he didn’t pull out of his last fight. I talk about how he can fix this, as well as the fan backlash to his recent comments.

Ian Gary is back in the media and guys I’m afraid that he has fumbled his big opportunity ultimately capitalizing on what could have been the biggest leap in stardom we’ve ever seen since maybe Conor McGregor maybe khabib when he beat Connor what I’m getting at right now is

That Ian Gary’s social media numbers are just sad in comparison to what I think they could have been like if he had only showed up to the UFC 296 fight week when there was a ton of drama surrounding his name and I don’t think that this is a

Case that’s just not reconcilable like I think that Ian Gary for example could win this weekend and knock out Jeff Neil and blow things up back again and get on the mic and have a wicked speech he could definitely bring things back up but man did he have that opportunity on

A silver platter and all he needed to do was just manage his stress a little bit better and show up because I’m looking at these numbers look at this on screen 24,000 views on his Mac life interview right look at volkanovski 77k Paulo Costa 23k 1,000 less than Ian Gary I’m

Not saying Costa is not a big deal but hey compared to what Ian Gary was looking like in the buildup to that UFC 296 fight week not even close we also got ilot Toria 22k Henry cejudo 32k explaining explaining his situation with his coach I think that if Ian Gary were

To have shown up on UFC 296 as fight week last December this interview that we see from 4 hours ago at 24,000 it would have been well over 100k probably even 200k you know what that interview would have hit over a million and I’m looking at the embedded

Episode the first one that the UFC came out with what are we looking at for Ian Gary what are the numbers 548k with him on the cover dude imagine if this guy showed up at UFC 296 an embedded episode from two days prior with Ian Gary’s face on it would

Have had over A Millie and now we got to look at his Instagram this is the saddest part and we are going to get into some of the things that Ian Gary talked about at his press conference but I’m goingon to look at his Instagram and we know that this

Guy has turned off his comments he’s disabled them 5,000 likes on this one we’re looking at 1,500 there’s him oh he’s running into Jeff Neil I haven’t even watched that yet that is pretty cool uh no one can [ __ ] with you if you got a kid in your hand

Ian Gary is being very smart this week making sure to have his kid with him so he can do damage control uh knowing Jeff Neil is not going to even try to go at him a little bit Jeff Neil is also a great guy but anyway back to my point I

Remember I was scrolling on Instagram the other day and I’m just liking pictures and interacting with things MMA posts for the most part and I see an Ian Gary post and I think it was probably something that had like 3,000 likes and it looked very strange compared to all

The other ones it almost looked like I was seeing some advertisement you know when you’re on Instagram and you see some sponsored post some compan paid the algorithm to put them out there you could just tell it’s different and you scroll right past it and you don’t even

Want to even look at it or engage with it at all that’s what every single Ian Gary post looks like on social media and it is absolutely destroying his chances of becoming a big star and it’s a problem because he’s just kind of not nearly as

Big as he should have been you know he was talking about Sean Strickland in this media day and I’ll play you some of the clips but he was saying that you know Strickland doesn’t have the belt anymore and no longer is relevant and of course if you’re looking at Sean

Strickland social media and all the viral moments he’s having running into big Donald Trump running into sneo recapping his adventures in Vegas running into both of those guys he’s got like over half a million views he’s getting hundreds of thousands of likes on Instagram people are commenting on it

They’re not looking at a sha Strickland post and scrolling right past it cuz it looks like some advertisement cuz again if you don’t see the little comment bubble to click on it makes every Instagram post look like some spam Sean Strickland is 10 times more relevant than Ian Gary right now and I’m

Not saying that Gary won’t get some pop at tomorrow’s press conference he probably will but it’s just not going to be nearly what it could have been this guy could have taken over the game and it it just kind of pisses me off that he didn’t show up because I understand just

How big of a moment he could have had and then we also have to understand that yes he is going to get some pop when he walks out because I’m sure the fans in Anaheim are going to be cheering for Jeff Neil not only is he American

But they’re they’re not going to like Ian Gary on the night of the fights Ian Gary will be relevant he does still have the level of Charisma and relevance needed and the amount of dislike from the fans to create a perfect storm to where there’s going to be a whole lot of

Energy in the building and you’re going to be glued to your TV it’s going to feel like a big fight a massive fight people are going to be holding their breaths that is going to happen but it’s not going to compare to what it could have been okay so it’s just kind of

Unfortunate that this is the case but the other thing that I want to talk about guys and he could rejuvenate all this with a knock knock out over Jeff Neil if he gets koed then I guess it’s all kind of falling apart but Ian Gary little piece of advice allowed people to

Engage in your social media people don’t like everything that I have to say and it’s all good it’s all good you got to allow people to critique you especially if you want to be a big star because you are nowhere near the level of Shan Strickland right now the other thing

That I want to discuss is Ian Gary calling out Sean Strickland and the fans response to this we shoot shots at each other all day long me and another bloke but the minute he mentions here’s the thing here’s the two things that I’ll point out to you right

My wife was called by Sean Strickland no woman ever deserves to be called that right that’s the truth my son the the people that follow Shan Strickland commented on a couple of my photos at the very start of all this hate saying is the kid even his oh you

Should never have to hear that now those two things they emotionally get me and I’ll get mine back I’ll tump the [ __ ] mouth off Sean Strickland one day and there’ll be nothing he can do about it and I’ll I’ll talk to him I’ll dance on his face

I’ll do whatever I want because the truth is when we get locked into that cage one day he’s never going to be able to deal with me but the truth is I have a Target on my back I have the ability to stand here and shoot shots at anyone

I want because this is my job and they have the opportunity in return so for me when you attack people in my circle when they don’t deserve it that’s out of line and look Sean Strickland is not the [ __ ] voice we should all be listening

To do you know what I mean he’s deeply deeply indebted with trauma and he should just be silent and try to deal with his own personal issues himself and that’s where mainly where it all came from all right so there’s a lot to unpack here and I’m going to start from

The last thing he said so the last thing he says is obviously to me just apparent Sean strick has a lot of redeeming qualities and I’m a Big Sean Strickland fan I absolutely love how he’s able to just say whatever comes to mind and the

Fact that a guy like that who has his beliefs which I think are important today uh because a lot of what he says is just common sense and it’s just truthful but for whatever reason people can’t just say it these days uh without getting punished which [ __ ] sucks and

So the Sean Strickland having a platform and being able to say all these things because the UFC allows him to say that [ __ ] and also because he doesn’t give a [ __ ] what’s going to happen that’s great I respect that Sean Strickland is a man that has conviction and I freaking

Respect that I really do and he’s also entertaining and he’s funny and he’s fun to watch fight and he’s a good [ __ ] talker and he sells his fights there’s a lot of things that I like about Sean Strickland he’s got Charisma there’s a lot of things but it’s also the case and

It’s funny cuz Strickland fans there are some that glaze this man like there’s no Tomorrow People glaze him a lot these days like they treat him like he can do no wrong and this is a guy that will tell you himself that he has a lot of

Serious issues that’s not to say that oh because Shan Strickland is unstable in ways he has nothing to offer he has nothing worth saying so I disagree when Ian Gary says that Sean Strickland be should be completely silent but like a big part of Ian Gary’s media day or at

Least the stuff that’s going viral online right now is him being upset at people going at his family now of course for Sean Strickland or or when we’re talking about Sean Strickland what he did is he made a video a while back giving Ian Gary some

Advice bro to bro bro code advice and I think that was totally warranted but Sean Strickland also says some things that may not be totally necessary to get the message out there but that’s also just him and it’s funny and that may have been taking a little bit of a dig

At Ian Gary’s wife now uh is Ian Gary and his relationship set up in a good way probably not like I’m sure it’s incredibly flawed and I wouldn’t want to be a part of a relationship like that absolutely not okay and a lot of the stuff that’s said about Ian Gary is

Funny all right but at the same time I don’t think that this guy should get flamed for saying that he gets pissed off when people talk about his family like don’t get me wrong I understand that this guy put his family on the Forefront and blasted stuff on social

Media and it was his wife’s idea and she’s not totally innocent because she’s running his social media and they were calling out the MMA Guru and um you know she she had him put a mug shot on a shirt and she was whispering in his ear to attack hamzat chamay have like I

Understand that there is stuff going on there that’s not innocent I totally get that and of course people are going to say you have no right to complain about people going at your family if you bring up Neil Magny for example because Ian Gary took Neil mag’s words out of context

When he went to a press conference and tried to blow them out of proportion to make Magny look like some terrible abuser right which was just not right and I think that honestly if this guy wants to redeem himself a little bit again he’ll never be a fan favorite

That’s just never going to happen then he should publicly address the Magny situation and apologize like even if he honestly isn’t capable of of coming to the conclusion that he was wrong where he actually was wrong then at least dude take like a photo with Magny [ __ ] shake his hand

Tell him to his face I’m sorry that I did that post it on social media and the fans are going to be a lot more tolerant of whatever you have to say it’s like no matter what Ian Gary says because he went at Magny he’ll never ever get a second

Chance right and I just think that listen it’s only human to get upset when people are attacking your family Anthony Smith where you at all right unless you’re Anthony Smith and everyone’s attacking your family but listen Ian Gary getting upset for people talking about his family is something

That’s similar to if you have some kind of toxic situation in your family or you’re constantly fighting with your brother or whatever um that’s normal and okay in a way but if someone went at your brother if someone goes at your family even if you and your family are

Always fighting that’s off limits all right only we can [ __ ] with each other not you that’s kind of what I’m seeing and that’s very normal like that’s how a lot of people are and I I just think that people are acting like Ian Gary should have this robotic reaction to

When Shan Strickland calls out his wife and it’s still his wife uh is that a toxic relationship that you would want to get yourself involved in is it set up in a way that’s just maybe going to fail yeah it might be like there’s something suspicious there all right but at the

Same time it’s still his wife uh they have a kid together yeah he has every right to get upset of that all right um and let’s not pretend like it’s all warranted stuff people are they’re not going at the kid but like people are Ming about the kid and he’s bringing the

Kid everywhere okay which as I said may be a good move but it’s also giving people that ammunition and it’s cheap ammunition because I constantly see people saying that’s not his kid that’s not his kid that’s not his kid and whether that’s funny or not it would still be a reason

For the guy to be pissed off right but he’s saying things like oh it’s the Shan Strickland fans that are doing that well first first of all you can’t blame that on Shan Strickland Shan Strickland’s not doing that he’s not talking about your kid his fans are uh so don’t try to spin

It as if that’s Strickland’s fault necessarily everyone that disagrees with you don’t relate that to Sean Strickland okay but listen the guy has a reason to be pissed off at a lot of the fans right now uh even if he’s a hypocrite is what I’m saying uh Ian Gary

Is hypocritical he’s delusional but at the same time I think that uh people are overreacting a little bit to this press conference where he’s saying things that are just kind of reasonable in my opinion all he’s doing is he’s defending the people that are around him because that’s his

Family how’s that so difficult to understand but what I think he should do to redeem himself uh or at least to win back like I don’t know 15% of the fan base if that’s even possible at this point is to apologize to Neil Magny that would get him a ton of respect

And I think that he’s probably capable or maybe not actually but he might be capable of understanding that what he did to Magny was [ __ ] up and once he clears himself of that then maybe the fans are going to give him a clean slate continue to build a fight with Shan

Strickland even actually I don’t know man he would get railed at the press conference and 90% of the fan base would be riding with Sean Strickland I actually think Ian Gary should not pursue a fight with Shan Strickland okay I actually think that’d be a bad idea

For him to do not only do I think he would lose that because Strickland’s going to be able to check the low kicks and I don’t think Gary’s going to be able to hit him so easily and it’s going to be hard for him to set up that KO

Shot but if he gets beat by Strickland he would be the ultimate butt of a Shan Strickland joke for forever that’s like the perfect opponent for Strickland to clown in the buildup to a fight and him getting destroyed by Shawn he might not be able to recover from

That uh just because people would would always say oh this is Strickland Sun Strickland Sun so actually don’t fight John Strickland accept comments on social media all right I guess that’s basically it bro what are you doing allow people to comment on your Instagram that’s going to allow you to

Be put back in the algorithm because right now you’re irrelevant on there so allow people to comment on your Instagram apologize to Neil Magny unless you want to go full villain Arc which is what I was suggesting a while ago I was like dude just double down and Go full

Out villain and he might be the biggest star ever if he had just decided to show up to 296 but it looks honestly like he’s trying to go on this much more relatable humble route carrying his kid all over embedded and stuff like that like trying to be the wholesome dad but

Yeah anyway that’s all I had to say in this video I think the people were being a little bit too hard on uh what Ian Gary was saying at the press conference I honestly think that even though he’s hypocritical and you don’t have to like the

Guy what he said was kind of just basic like of course he’s not going to want people talking about his family even if you think those critiques are warranted there are a lot of people just Clowning him all the time it’s going to piss the man off it’s not that

Crazy and avoid Shan Strickland I wanted to say that at the very end don’t fight Shan Strickland I don’t think it’s going to work out so well for him he’ll be disliked more after that and people will view him as someone that isn’t Danger because you don’t want to get dominated

By Shan Strickland in your next couple of fights when you have this whole career ahead of you that’s going to ruin your stock big time and accept comments on social media until next time
