Garry, who has trained at renowned gyms like Kill Cliff FC and Chute Box in Brazil, shared his experience at Renegade MMA, the home of former welterweight champion Leon Edwards. According to Garry, his time at Renegade MMA was cut short due to Edwards’ discomfort with his presence. “Do you know what the truth is with Leon Edwards? He’s mentally weak and he didn’t like someone as talented as me on the mats with him. That’s the truth,” Garry stated.

The Irishman further elaborated on the incident, saying, “He wouldn’t even look me in the eye the day I walked out the gym. I’m like, ‘What the f**k lads?'” Garry’s comments highlight the tension between the two fighters, which has been brewing for some time.
Garry’s nomadic approach to training, inspired by advice from Gilbert Burns, has seen him travel the globe to train with the best in the sport. This strategy has paid off, as Garry continues to climb the ranks in the welterweight division. His upcoming fight against Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310 is highly anticipated, with the winner set to face Belal Muhammad for the welterweight title in 2025.
