Ian Garry responds to Islam Makhachev

    by Hars: Islam Makhachev

    Islam Makhachev called it Ian Garry's 'bad guy' act and said nobody likes him. Garry isn't bothered. 'I could not care less,' he said. When he wins the belt, his little boy will be front row, and after that he couldn't care what anyone else on this planet has to say.

    Islam recently said that you act like a bad guy. You try to do too much in interviews. The crowd is going to be on my side because nobody likes my opponent. We will make him humble. Do you factor in what the crowd is going to be like on Saturday night? Do you not really pay any attention to that? I couldn't care less. Ahead of my fight with Blau Mohamed in Qatar, I walked out to booze. Go back and listen to the audio 30 seconds into the fight. Let's go, Gary. Let's go. Dude, this sport is a pantomime. I couldn't care less what people think of me. What I care about is becoming the champion of the world and proving that I was right, that the dream I had as a 16 year old kid growing up in Dublin, Ireland I've fulfilled that dream what anyone else thinks about me, it's irrelevant my little boy is going to be front row when I win that belt I couldn't care what anyone else on this planet has to say about me or thinks about me I want to see his smile I want to see him and my wife I want to give him the biggest cuddle I possibly can and say daddy did it that's all that matters to me
