“The fight against ‘MVP’, for me, is the first time in the UFC I’m having a fight where I’m expected to win,” Garry said. “People expect me to go out there and give it to this guy. And people give him hype. People (say), ‘He’s this! He’s done that!’ He never won a world title in Bellator. … Now he’s coming to the UFC, which is the greatest organization in fighting, and he thinks he’s gonna come into this division and do what? Win a world title?

“He couldn’t do it in Bellator and he thinks he’s gonna do it here? he is not gonna touch me and he is not gonna touch anybody above me in the rankings,” Garry continued. “This is the end of his career. I am 11 years younger than him, I am faster than him. I am prettier than him. I’m more technical than him. In every single which way, I am going to outclass him. I am going to prove that there are levels to this game.”
