Ian Machado Garry isn’t taking anymore crap about his relationship with his wife, especially if he has to hear it from pesky UFC fans.

Garry, who returns to the Octagon this weekend to fight Geoff Neal on a massive UFC 298 pay-per-view (PPV) card, was outside Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., Friday night following the event’s ceremonial weigh ins (replay HERE). That’s when Garry was approached by a fan who made some dumb remark about his wife. Garry wasn’t having it and decided to confront the fan before stepping into his car.

Check out the footage below:

“You talking sh-t about my wife? Don’t f—king do that,” warned Garry as he was being held back.

In case you forgot, Garry has been catching some serious flack about his relationship with his wife dating back to last year. That’s because a few select UFC fighters began to label Garry a “cuck” and pretty much shredded his marriage from top to bottom. Garry has been trying to fight off that narrative ever since and has even voiced his concern for traveling with his family given the hate he’s received on social media.

Luckily, Garry seems to be rising about the negativity in advance to his clash with Neal at UFC 298 this weekend in Anaheim. The undefeated Irishman is looking to prove all of his doubters wrong, walk through Neal in dramatic fashion, and give fans like the one above nothing to talk about.

UFC welterweight Ian Garry likes his chances against fellow undefeated fighter, Khamzat Chimaev. 

Garry takes on Geoff Neal this weekend on the main card of UFC 298 in what will not just be a test of his MMA skills, but also his mental toughness. The 27-year-old has been on the receiving end of waves of online hate, going on for some months now. 

Ian Garry talks a future fight with Khamzat Chimaev

However, while some of the subjects clearly upset Ian Garry, it didn’t seem to impact his self-confidence. When recently asked about Chimaev, the Irishman was supremely confident of victory should the two meet, and envisions the fight being one of epic proportion and worthy of a special venue.

“It would have to be in the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland as my dream venue because they’re never going to go to Croke Park,” Garry said to Sporting Post. “And the dream opponent would be me versus Khamzat Chimaev because everyone talks about him like he’s this badman and this boogeyman, but in time I’m going get a chance to lay hands on him. If he’s the baddest man that everyone is afraid of I’m going to show the world what’s up.”

“He’d be my dream opponent in Ireland. I want that f—king wolf. I want that badman. I want to be the baddest man on Earth, and everyone considers it to be him at the moment, but let me punch the mouth off him and we’ll see what’s up.” (H/T BJPenn.com)

Garry has seemingly thought that one day he and Chimaev would have some sort of rivalry, one that could go down in UFC history. Chimaev is a formidable force and should the two continue down the road of success, and while ‘Borz’ has recently moved to 185lbs, there is no reason why the two couldn’t meet in the future.

“F*****g right. What’s he gonna do? Take me down? great bring it on, lets go, bring it on, let’s go,” Garry continued. “Dude, so am I, I’m bigger than he’s, I’m 6’3″, I’m taller, longer, faster than he is. Amazing wrestling, he gets tired though, he gets tired pretty quick, I don’t. The truth is, so what if he takes me down, I’d elbow the skull off of him.” 

Who wins, Khamzat Chimaev or Ian Garry?
