McGregor Supports Garry Ahead of UFC 330 Title Shot
Conor McGregor has expressed his support for Ian Machado Garry as the welterweight fighter prepares for his title shot against Islam Makhachev at UFC 330. This endorsement comes amid growing criticism from fans regarding Garry's recent media appearances.
Garry is set to compete for the welterweight championship later this month after securing victories over notable opponents, including former champion Belal Muhammad and knockout artist Carlos Prates. However, his media tour has faced backlash, with former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub labeling it as subpar for a top fighter, and a collaboration with PETA further fueled the criticism.
In response to the negative feedback, McGregor commented on an Instagram post about Garry's media challenges, affirming his belief in Garry's potential to become champion. Garry's controversial remarks in interviews, including a statement about women leading the world, have also drawn ire from fans. UFC 330 is scheduled for later in August, where Garry aims to secure his first title, while McGregor continues to recover from an injury sustained during his last fight.
