Whereas Garry has had an extremely profitable run contained in the Octagon up to now, incomes wins over Neil Magny, Geoff Neal, Michael ‘Venom’ Web page, and Carlos Prates, a lot of the eye has been positioned on Garry’s marriage to TV persona Layla Anna-Lee.
After it was found that Anna-Lee had authored a brief guide titled Learn how to Be a WAG, rumors began to fly that Garry was nothing greater than a 3rd wheel in a throuple that also concerned Anna-Lee’s ex-husband Richard Cullen. Including gasoline to the fireplace was the revelation that Cullen really lives with Garry and Anna-Lee, and works as the previous’s nutritionist.
Everybody from Colby Covington to Sean Strickland took the bait, dubbing Garry a “cuck” and slamming the pair’s unconventional dwelling scenario in interviews and on social media.
Not too long ago, Joaquin Buckley discovered himself caught up in all of the drama between Garry and his child mama after he tried to confront the Irishman throughout the UFC Kansas Metropolis weigh-ins in April.
“Y’all know I needed to pull up on Ian Garry on the weigh-in, speaking all that mess in his little interview,” Buckley informed Parry Punch. “So, I wait until he will get executed—I’m ready, affected person. As quickly as I pull up, growth, she bumps proper into me. She going to make use of the child as a defend, move him off to him, so I’m like, ‘Alright, I’ll let you’ve gotten that one.’
“However as quickly as I’m about to show round, she comes over to me, caresses my arm, and says, ‘I’mma so long on tonight.’ Lady, what the f*ck that imply? I’m attempting to see him, not you!”
Not like Covington and Strickland, Buckley by no means supposed to deliver Garry’s spouse into their budding rivalry, however when Anna-Lee seemingly goes out of her approach to be a part of the present, there’s going to be some collateral injury.
“No, it wasn’t intentional to mess with this woman or nothing like that, however I seen all of the feedback that folks making,” Buckley continued. “I’m shocked that video went as viral because it did. Lots of people felt prefer it was disrespectful, lots of people felt prefer it was imply. I’m like, look—lots of people say hold the household out of it, however if you let your loved ones be part of the enterprise, they part of the enterprise.
She is simply as a lot part of the MMA enterprise and the UFC as Ian Garry, bro. Once you see Ian Garry, you see her—nearly like his supervisor, precisely proper.”

Garry and his spouse additionally attracted damaging consideration forward of a struggle in opposition to Geoff Neal that was scheduled to go down in August 2023. Within the lead-up to their showdown, Garry put Neal’s mugshot from a 2021 arrest for DWI and supposed to promote them.
That alone was going too far within the eyes of many, however after Neal pulled out of the struggle and was changed with Neil Magny, Garry accused ‘Handz of Metal’ of bodily abusing his youngsters, realizing full effectively that Magny was in the midst of a custody battle together with his estranged spouse.
Garry’s feedback resulted in a flood of headlines on social media, which have been then utilized by opposing attorneys to attempt to painting Magny as a hazard to his personal youngsters in courtroom.

“Don’t get it twisted—plenty of selections that he make relies off his woman, proper? And also you seen with the pictures of Geoff Neal, proper, placing him on a shirt, placing his mug shot on the market, speaking in regards to the future,” Buckley mentioned. “You see the conversations that she was like, ‘Oh, it’s horrible, he whoops his child,’ used to deliver that up, babe, proper?

Nonetheless, Neal described the separation and custody battle as one of the troublesome issues he’s confronted, made all of the extra irritating by Garry’s ignorant feedback.
Buckley made it clear that he has nothing in opposition to Anna-Lee, even going as far as to say she’s a pleasant particular person. With that mentioned, ‘New Mansa’ acknowledges that whereas Ian Garry is the star of the present, she’s the one pulling the strings.
“She’s good, she appears good—there you go,” Buckley mentioned. “I’m not going to be disrespectful when it come to stuff like that. I’m going to maintain it a buck—like, that’s simply her nature, that’s who she is. She been part of this enterprise proper earlier than she even bought with Ian Garry. Even the smile, proper? She know to maintain the smile on her face despite the fact that she upset at me, she know she don’t like my ass, proper? She know to maintain that smile as a result of there’s cameras all the time watching. Media skilled, media skilled, media skilled—thanks. She know what she doing; she part of the biz.
“Something that woman do ain’t by chance, I promise you. Even when it was an accident, it (expletive) bought all of them numbers, so I assume that’s the best way to take a look at it.”
