White claimed he doesn’t think there’ll ever be another Conor McGregor in the UFC. He said Garry must create his own identity in the sport and said that if he keeps winning, the Irish fans will definitely get behind him.
Watch the post-UFC 268 press conference below:
Ian Garry stepped inside the octagon for the first time at UFC 268 to take on Jordan Williams in a welterweight encounter. The highly rated prospect seemed to be in trouble early in the fight but remarkably recovered to pick up a knockout victory with just a second remaining in the first round.
Following the win, Garry quoted McGregor and claimed it was time for a second Irish takeover in the UFC.
Conor McGregor acknowledges similarity between him and Ian Garry
Conor McGregor took to Twitter to congratulate Garry on the win. He also likened Garry’s finish of Williams to his own counter-punching style of fighting, heaping praise on the highly rated up-and-comer.
McGregor is currently back in training after recovering from the horrific leg break he suffered at UFC 264 earlier this year. The Irishman has been ruled out of action until 2022 and is expected to return to the octagon next year.
