Reaction: Ian Machado Garry no-shows UFC 296 media day amid controversies
Ian Machado Garry is the talk of Las Vegas, but perhaps not for the reasons he would like to be.
This Saturday, Machado Garry faces Vicente Luque in the main card opener of UFC 296 in Las Vegas, amid swirling controversies around his personal and professional life. Earlier this week, Machado Garry invited this opportunity, releasing a hype video saying he was going to stick it to his “haters” by beating Luque and continue to rise up the ranks, but on Wednesday, “The Future” instead gave his haters ample ammunition for talking trash when he skipped out on the UFC 296 Media Day.
What just happened, what does it say about Machado Garry’s mental state heading into his fight this weekend, and what does this mean for Machado Garry’s future? MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and Alexander K. Lee hop in to discuss Machado Garry’s surprise absence.
