Simply earlier than the UFC 303 pre-fight press convention concluded, Ian Machado Garry threw out an inflammatory accusation that he promised would get Michael Web page banned from the game.
Whereas that appears quite unlikely, it didn’t cease Garry from launching right into a tirade aimed on the former Bellator fighter after the 2 exchanged phrases on stage. Initially, Garry simply taunted Web page with a risk to disclose some mysterious data, however the veteran fighter and one-time BKFC brawler seemingly had no thought what Garry was speaking about.
“I’ve already broke this man’s confidence down a lot. He is aware of, I don’t have to say what I’m speaking about,” Garry shouted. “You already know precisely what I’m on about. Your self-confidence is f*cked. You already know what I’m speaking about.
“It would come out. It would come out, child. However your mind is f*cking scurrying for excuses. Do you need to say it or will I? Inform the folks.”
As Web page successfully laughed in his face, Garry responded by claiming the veteran striker tried to repay anyone in his camp for data forward of their UFC 303 combat.
There have been dozens of accusations about “moles” infiltrating coaching camps in MMA over time, however Garry went one step additional by suggesting that Web page was prepared to pay for that data but returned with nothing.
“Did you and your crew provide hundreds of {dollars} to get data in Chute Boxe from my boys?” Garry stated. “Did you ship somebody a message and provide hundreds for data, but couldn’t infiltrate the camp/ You couldn’t get into [it], the Chute Boxe household is just too tight.
“Your little f*cking rat jiu-jitsu coach provided cash to considered one of my Brazilian buddies and you bought nothing. Saturday night time, you’re f*cked.”
Earlier than he was performed speaking, Garry then instructed that Web page and his unnamed coach may get banned from the game for all times if that data was confirmed true.
“You and your jiu-jitsu coach are getting suspended for all times,” Garry stated.
That’s a doubtful declare at finest, that anyone would obtain a lifetime ban from the game, and it prompted a fiery response from Web page as the gang started chanting “MVP.”
“This man’s hilarious,” Web page stated. “All I do know is the one and solely ‘MVP’ is right here on the UFC and I’m about to make some noise.”
When Garry stored chirping on the microphone, Web page answered again emphatically.
“Shut the f*ck up!” Web page shouted.
The faceoff between the welterweights was simply as intense a couple of minutes later, with UFC CEO Dana White protecting an arm between them and ultimately breaking them aside earlier than something obtained out of hand.
