He wants to be known as the type of fighter who can talk the talk and walk the walk, and backing up everything he said is how he proves that he truly is “The Future”. His next opportunity to do just that comes against Darian Weeks at UFC 273 on yet another big PPV event.
“Every single fight is me getting in there and showing people, ‘Look, I’m here, I’m this good. You can say what you want about me, you can say I’m beatable, you can say you’re going to do this, you can say you’re going to do that, you can say you see these holes – go in there and f****** do it then. Show me, show me what you can do and let’s see who wins,’” Garry said. “But, at the end of the day, I want to go in there and have fun. I want people to be entertained, I want people to be excited, I want people to look forward to my fight and go ‘F***’.”

Garry will be the first to tell you that he isn’t looking to be in a crazy drag ‘em out slugfest. He’s looking to be a technician and make his performances look clean and calculated. As a student of the game, he’s seen how giving an opponent an inch can lead to them taking a mile, and by staying composed and crisp he will avoid giving Weeks any gaps to take advantage of.
“I’m striving for that perfection, that perfect performance. Every single time that I step into that cage I want to be one step closer to where that is,” Garry said. “I don’t expect that until I’m the UFC champion, until I’m on a dominant win streak defending my belt and I move to middleweight and I’m a two-weight world champion. I don’t see that for a while.”
