Neil Magny stepped into the octagon tonight aiming for back-to-back wins, while Ian Garry entered with the goal of maintaining his unbeaten record. In a fiercely competitive MMA showdown, Garry emerged as the winner.
The Haitian Sensation accepted the challenge on short notice to replace Geoff Neal. Despite the commendable effort in such a tight timeframe, Magny fell short of clinching a victory.
Ian Garry calls out Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson
Garry undoubtedly stands out as one of the most promising emerging fighters in the welterweight division, generating considerable excitement among UFC fans. After his recent victory, ranked 13th in the welterweight division, he openly challenged Stephen Thompson in a post-fight interview with Joe Rogan.
“I made him look like he never fought in Octagon before… That was domination from start to finish. So give me Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson” Gary said.

Going up against the experienced welterweight veteran would mark a significant hurdle, especially as Wonderboy is fresh off a win against Kevin Holland and has yet to step into the octagon this year.
With his flawless record, Garry is undeniably on track to contend for a title shot in the near future. A win against Stephen Thompson would undoubtedly propel him towards greater glory.

Ian Garry secures his 13th straight win at UFC 292
The Future continues to maintain his undefeated streak in his MMA career. Earlier this year, in March, the 25-year-old fighter secured victory against Song Kenan at UFC 285.
In a prior event at Charlotte, North Carolina’s Spectrum Center on May 14, Ian Garry, on ABC 4’s main event card, faced off against Daniel Rodriguez. In the first round, the Irishman emerged triumphant defeating the American combatant via knockout.
Tonight, in his third fight of the year within five months, he didn’t disappoint his fans. Once again, Ian emerged victorious and extended his winning streak to 13 by defeating Magny.
