Ian Garry recently stated that he can't wait to share a UFC card in Dublin with Conor McGregor.

'The Future' is hands down the biggest Irish prospect in the UFC since Conor McGregor. Much like McGregor, the welterweight fighter is a fantastic striker and he has a captivating charisma as well.

Garry is a big star in Ireland and is looking forward to sharing a UFC card in his hometown of Dublin along with Conor McGregor. Here's what Garry said in a recent interview with BT Sport:

"I have nothing but respect for the man and I can't wait for the day we get to take over Dublin together and when we get to share a card together. I am so excited for his return. Everyone will be looking forward to that one when we get to do that."

Conor McGregor had a meteoric rise to the top of the UFC's featherweight division when he arrived in the organization. The Irish fighter managed to capture world titles in two weight classes. He is the biggest star the sport of MMA has ever had and his arrival took the popularity of the UFC to another level.

McGregor has fought only once in front of his home crowd in Dubmin in his UFC career. 'The Notorious' earned a trademark knockout finish against Diego Brandao in 2014.

Garry, meanwhile, has fought only twice in the UFC so far. Despite his relatively young career, the talent is obvious.
