Self-titled 'The New McGregor', Ian Gary has been gaining more and more prominence in the welterweight division (up to 77,1kg) and has caught the attention of one of the main trainers of the 'Notório', who has high expectations for the promising 26-year-old Irishman, who enters action on the day December 16, against the Brazilian Vincent Luque, UFC 296.
During his participation in 'The Mac Life', Owen Roddy, responsible for training the standing part Conor McGregor, praised the Irish promise and bet on victory over Vincent Luque.

“He is a very intelligent fighter, a very intelligent striker. I think the sky is the limit for him. I think he will be very surgical for Vicente (Luque). Vicente is also a phenomenal athlete, but I see Ian being a little too fast, too sharp and I can see him putting Vicente out, to be honest”, said the coach.
compatriot of Conor McGregor, the most popular name in the history of MMA, Ian Gary is, in Roddy's opinion, following the same path of success as 'Notório'.
“I don’t think I would even say he’s going to be the next big thing in Ireland, because he’s already there,” he said.
Ian Gary e Vincent Luque face each other on the main card of UFC 296, on December 16th, at the T-Mobile Arena, in Las Vegas, in the United States.
