Ian Garry was supposed to fight Vicente Luque at UFC 296, but the fighter was forced to pull out of the bout due to an illness.
The fighter faced a lot of criticism online following some accusations made towards him by UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland.
Garry has now taken to Instagram and he says all that hate that was directed to him isn’t real:
“Fight week didn’t go as planned. Influenza developed into pneumonia as I dropped weight and for the first time in my career I was pulled by the UFC Doctor. Flying home I met so many fans who flew out specifically to see me. F*ck. This is not how I wanted to meet you. I wanted to put on a show more than anything. Thank you for all your kind words, wonderful messages and to everyone who was there for me. You might read hateful comments online but I’ve discovered they aren’t real. In real life you book flights, hotels, you drive miles, and you show up, in Vegas. I appreciate the hell out everyone and I promise I’ll make it up to you all in February ????????????”
