Ian Machado Garry rips Neil Magny over controversial comments hinting at child abuse

The matchup between promotion-ranked top 15 fighters takes place on the main card of the pay-per-view event on Aug. 19 at TD Garden. Judging by their interactions at the pre-fight press conference Thursday, emotions could play a big factor come Saturday evening.

During his pre-fight media day news conference, Magny (28-10 MMA, 21-9 UFC) told reporters that he plans on issuing a father-like “ass whooping” to Garry (12-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC). The comments struck Garry as if Magny made an admission to putting his hands on his children.
