‘Fake flat head’: MMA fighters pile on Ian Garry following UFC 296 withdrawal

Some fighters in the MMA community offered support to Ian Garry after he pulled out from UFC 296 – but others, not so much.

After a rough build into UFC 296 fight week, [autotag]Ian Garry[/autotag] once again put himself in the line of fire for criticism after he was removed from Saturday’s scheduled bout with Vicente Luque.

Garry (13-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) came down with a case of pneumonia that resulted in doctors pulling him from his anticipated welterweight matchup with Luque (22-9-1 MMA, 15-5 UFC) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

It was a disappointing end to a fight camp filled with personal adversity for Garry, and a number of fellow fighters did not miss the chance to pile on.
