‘It’s always been business’: Teammates Ian Garry, Vicente Luque share audio messages ahead of UFC 296 fight
If you wanted to know where Kill Cliff teammates Ian Garry and Vicente Luque stand after getting booked against each other, well, now we know.
In a collaboration post on Instagram on Wednesday morning, Garry (13-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) shared an exchange of audio messages with Luque (22-9-1 MMA, 15-5 UFC) discussing their booking for a welterweight clash at UFC 296 on Dec. 16.
You can hear their respectful exchange in the post below (via Instagram):
Luque, No. 11 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie welterweight rankings, nearly saw his career come to an end in 2022 after he sustained a brain bleed following a knockout loss to Geoff Neal.
