IAN GARRY VS JORDAN WILLIAMS LOWDOWN
Ian Garry (7-0) makes his UFC debut less than three years after making his professional debut. It is no surprise to see the UFC snap up this 23-year-old. He has the hype, he is exciting, he is cocky and most importantly, he is talented. He blitzed through the Cage Warriors welterweight division collecting five impressive knockouts before meeting Jack Grant for the welterweight championship back in June. Prior to the fight, he parted ways with his team, but still put on a show earning a unanimous decision and now he is under the biggest spotlight on them all.
Jordan Williams (9-5-1) welcomes the prospect to the UFC and after three showings on the Contender Series, he finally made his debut in October last year. He finished Tim Caron on his first appearance but got popped for marijuana, knocked out Diego Herzog for Bellator but then lost a split decision to Ramazan Kuramagomedov on his second attempt on the series. He returned a year later and knocked out Gregory Rodrigues which is ageing into a very impressive win. However, he has been handed tough match ups in his first two UFC fights – losing a unanimous decision to Nassourdine Imavov and getting submitted by Mickey Gall.
IAN GARRY VS JORDAN WILLIAMS PREDICTION
Garry has a lot of growing up to do but flying over to Florida to join Sandford MMA could prove to be the best decision of his career. He has been learning off the likes of Michael Chandler, Gilbert Burns and Vicente Luque who will humble him on the mats and help mould him into a welterweight force.
Williams is a lot better than his record suggests and has dangerous knockout power so if Garry does not take him seriously, he could have a nightmare debut. The Dublin boy is a striker by trade, but he is developing all of his skills and has decent grappling defence.
Williams has a takedown in the locker, but we expect this fight to remain on the feet where Garry is expected to utilize his speed, movement, power and all round striking advantage to seal a knockout and perfect debut at Madison Square Garden.
