Simply earlier than the UFC 303 pre-fight press convention concluded, Ian Machado Garry threw out an inflammatory accusation that he promised would get Michael Page banned from the game.
Whereas that appears moderately unlikely, it didn’t cease Garry from launching right into a tirade aimed on the former Bellator fighter after the 2 exchanged phrases on stage. Initially, Garry simply taunted Web page with a menace to disclose some mysterious data, however the veteran fighter and one-time BKFC brawler seemingly had no concept what Garry was speaking about.
“I’ve already broke this man’s confidence down a lot. He is aware of, I don’t must say what I’m speaking about,” Garry shouted. “You already know precisely what I’m on about. Your self-confidence is f*cked. You already know what I’m speaking about.
“It’ll come out. It’ll come out, child. However your mind is f*cking scurrying for excuses. Do you wish to say it or will I? Inform the folks.”
As Web page successfully laughed in his face, Garry responded by claiming the veteran striker tried to repay any person in his camp for data forward of their UFC 303 struggle.
There have been dozens of accusations about “moles” infiltrating coaching camps in MMA through the years, however Garry went one step additional by suggesting that Web page was prepared to pay for that data but returned with nothing.
“Did you and your staff supply hundreds of {dollars} to get data in Chute Boxe from my boys?” Garry mentioned. “Did you ship somebody a message and supply hundreds for data, but couldn’t infiltrate the camp/ You couldn’t get into [it], the Chute Boxe household is simply too tight.
“Your little f*cking rat jiu-jitsu coach supplied cash to considered one of my Brazilian pals and you bought nothing. Saturday night time, you’re f*cked.”
Earlier than he was finished speaking, Garry then steered that Web page and his unnamed coach might get banned from the game for all times if that data was confirmed true.
“You and your jiu-jitsu coach are getting suspended for all times,” Garry mentioned.
That’s a doubtful declare at greatest, that anyone would obtain a lifetime ban from the game, and it prompted a fiery response from Web page as the group started chanting “MVP.”
“This man’s hilarious,” Web page mentioned. “All I do know is the one and solely ‘MVP’ is right here on the UFC and I’m about to make some noise.”
When Garry saved chirping on the microphone, Web page answered again emphatically.
“Shut the f*ck up!” Web page shouted.
The faceoff between the welterweights was simply as intense a couple of minutes later, with UFC CEO Dana White preserving an arm between them and finally breaking them aside earlier than something received out of hand.
