The Irish megastar took to Twitter after Garry’s win and said:
Ian Garry’s fight with Jordan Williams closed the early prelims of the UFC’s Madison Square Garden card.
Late in the first round, ‘The Future’ landed a massive right cross that wobbled Williams. He then dropped Williams with two right hands, securing the KO win.
Watch the finish below:
Garry’s knockout resembled a highlight reel finish from Conor McGregor himself. ‘The Notorious’ fought and finished Ivan Buchinger in similar fashion when the former UFC double champion competed at Cage Warriors.
McGregor dropped Buchinger with a left hand, which seemed eerily similar to Garry’s right cross which stunned Williams. Renowned MMA reporter Ariel Helwani also tweeted about the comparison.
After making a successful UFC debut, undefeated Ian Garry has now moved to 8-0 in his pro MMA career.
Conor McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh also congratulated Ian Garry on his successful UFC debut.
