Conor McGregor has said that Ian Garry is doing "all the right things" as he prepares for his second UFC outing this weekend.
The former two-weight world champion is preparing for a return to the octagon of his own, and is excited to watch his countryman as he faces Darian Weeks at UFC 273. Garry will compete on the prelims against fellow recently-signed welterweight Weeks, who lost his short-notice debut, but is a considerable step-up in competition.
The Dublin duo have exchanged messages on social media both publicly and in private, with Garry admitting that it was watching McGregor's famous world title fights that inspired him to purse MMA. And speaking to Mirror Fighting today in Dublin, McGregor shared his support again for his fellow fighter.
