Neil Magny was surprised by a callout from Ian Garry

In the world of mixed martial arts, fighters calling each other out is a common occurrence. It’s a way for competitors to make their intentions known and express their desire to climb the ranks. For UFC welterweight veteran Neil Magny, being called out is nothing new, but the latest shout he received caught him off guard.

Magny has built a reputation for accepting any challenge thrown his way on his journey toward the welterweight title. However, it was rising undefeated contender Ian Garry who recently mentioned Magny’s name, and that was a bit surprising for the seasoned veteran.

Magny recently secured his 21st welterweight victory in UFC history with a win over Rowe at UFC on ABC 5. He now holds the record for the most wins in the division. Surpassing the legendary Georges St-Pierre, Magny has proven his resilience and determination inside the Octagon.

On the other hand, Garry has been making waves since his debut in 2021, boasting an impressive 5-0 record. Scheduled to face Geoff Neal at UFC 292 in August. Garry called out Magny prior to his booking against Neal. While their paths may cross depending on the outcomes of their upcoming bouts. Magny is no stranger to callouts that never materialize for various reasons.

For Magny, the callouts have become a part of his journey in the UFC. While he appreciates the recognition and the desire of his peers to compete against him, he understands that not all callouts lead to actual fights. The fight game is unpredictable, and matchups are often determined by a combination of timing, rankings, and other factors.

As Magny continues his quest for welterweight supremacy, he remains focused on his own journey and the challenges that lie ahead. With his wealth of experience and relentless work ethic, he is prepared to face anyone the UFC puts in front of him.

As for Garry, his upcoming bout against Neal presents an opportunity for him to continue his impressive undefeated streak. Should he emerge victorious, a potential clash with Magny could be on the horizon? However, in the ever-evolving world of MMA, nothing is certain until the cage door closes.
