Hastily summoned to star in the UFC Kansas City this Saturday (26th), Ian Gary revealed his immediate reaction to receiving an invitation for a crucial fight in his career. Upon receiving a call from his manager, the Irishman surprised everyone by saying that he accepted the fight without even knowing who he would face in the organization's octagon.
“I was in Madrid, being a cornerman for a friend of mine from Chute Boxe and my manager called me and he said: 'Are you available for a fight at short notice?', I asked how short notice it was and he said 25 days. I said yes, tell the UFC I'm in, hung up the phone and went back to focusing on my job as a cornerman. He called me back right away and was like: 'Dude, you just hung up and accepted a fight, don't you want to know who it's against?' and I was like, really, this is important right”, revealed Garry TNT Sports.

As he continued speaking, Garry showed coldness when he knew that his opponent would be Carlos Prates.
“And then he told me it was the Carlos Prates and I was like, cool, let's do it. Simple as that. I was born to fight, when you call me and ask me if I want to fight, there is only one answer and it is yes”, he concluded.

Representatives of Chute Boxe Diego Lima and Fighting Nerds respectively, Garry and Prates are experiencing a climate of rivalry on the eve of the match. A slight favorite in the bookmakers, the Irishman promises to knock out his opponent this Saturday (26).
