Ian Garry earned his way on to arguable the most highly anticipated UFC card of the year this weekend with an angry email to matchmaker Sean Shelby.
The former Cage Warriors champion from Dublin has been making waves since signing with the UFC last year, but was unable to add to his highlight reel of finishes against Darian Weeks back in April. And immediately after that bout, which he publicly claimed was an "A" performance, he insisted he wanted a quick turnaround.
And despite the card being filled early on for the International Fight Week headliner, Garry was told to stay ready for a potential opportunity. That chance ultimately arose in the form of a bout with Gabe Green, his most experienced UFC opponent to date.
