Irish UFC star Ian Garry wants to beat the majority of the top 15 at welterweight in order to prove that he earned a future world title fight.
The Dublin native will enter at No.15 on Tuesday's rankings if he can beat Daniel Rodriguez at UFC Charlotte in a massive step-up tonight (Saturday). And he wants to change the narrative about getting easier fights early in his promotional run by defeating multiple top 15 fighters, starting with Rodriguez.
Garry has gone 4-0 since signing with the promotion in 2021, landing a knockout victory over Kenan Song back in April to earn himself a shot at the rankings. And he is keen to prove his mettle by competing regularly and at a continuously higher level over the coming years.
