After a rough build into UFC 296 fight week, Ian Garry once again put himself in the line of fire for criticism after he was removed from Saturday’s scheduled bout with Vicente Luque.
Garry (13-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) came down with a case of pneumonia that resulted in doctors pulling him from his anticipated welterweight matchup with Luque (22-9-1 MMA, 15-5 UFC) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
It was a disappointing end to a fight camp filled with personal adversity for Garry, and a number of fellow fighters did not miss the chance to pile on.
Check below for the top X (formerly Twitter) reactions to Garry being pulled from UFC 296.

I actually feel pretty bad for Ian Garry ngl. I know he kind of did it to himself, and it’s funny seeing all the comments but man… kids getting roasted 😅😅
I trained w him in Florida briefly…He’s cool shit and was always cool to be around. I liked him.
Any press is good…— Randy Costa (@RandyCosta135) December 14, 2023

How to be a #mma WAG –
Block comments on his social media.
Spend his money (before he has it).
Skip presser so nobody asks about the above ☝🏿
Give him food poisoning so he has to pull from fight.
Then he will be sad and really think he needs you. #HowTo #WAG— Kevin Holland (@Trailblaze2top) December 14, 2023
