BOSTON – Ian Machado Garry didn’t knock out Neil Magny on Saturday night like he said he would, but the way Garry beat him at UFC 292 might’ve worked out even better.
For 15 minutes, Garry (13-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) showed his striking was on another level as he battered Magny high and low en route to a lopsided unanimous decision win by scores of 30-26 twice and a rare 30-24 from one judge. Afterward, when he sat at the podium for the UFC 292 post-fight news conference at TD Garden, the always brash Garry wasted no time telling reporters just how great he is.
“I f*cking told you guys: I’m so good,” Garry said. “And I don’t sit here like a d*ckhead saying that. I mean it, I know it, I’ve trained with the best in the world. I know what I’m capable of. I know what I’m able to go in there and do against these people – my timing, my speed is just different. But it’s my intelligence. It’s my intelligence.
