Ian Machado Garry and Michael Page have had a rollercoaster of respect levels displayed during the build to their UFC 303 clash Saturday.
Initially complimentary, things got a little more trash talk-oriented at Wednesday’s media day. Thursday, things went to another level at the pre-fight news conference as Garry (14-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) accused Page (22-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) of attempting to acquire training information in exchange for money.
“I’ve already broke this man’s confidence down so much,” Garry said. “He knows. I don’t have to say what I’m talking about. You know exactly what I’m on about. Your self-confidence is f*cked. You know what I’m talking about. It will come out. It will come out kid, but your brain is f*cking screaming for excuses.”
