"Garry was secretly loving it" - Fans spot Carlos Prates and Ian Garry’s tense reaction to Mauricio Ruffy’s UFC Paris defeat

Fans have reacted to a clip of Ian Garry and Carlos Prates reacting to Mauricio Ruffy's first UFC loss this past weekend at UFC Paris. Ruffy locked horns with Benoit Saint-Denis in the co-main event of UFC Paris.

Despite being the underdog, Saint-Denis dragged Ruffy into exhausting grappling exchanges and neutralized the latter's striking from the opening bell, constantly level changing and confusing the Brazilian.

In the second round, 'God of War,' after securing another takedown, took Ruffy's back and forced the tap with a face crank.

Ruffy's comrade, Partes, and the latter's former opponent Garry, who were in attendance for UFC Paris, were spotted standing next to each other. Prates was upset after Ruffy's defeat, and even Garry appeared dissatisfied. Championship Rounds on X reshared a clip of 'The Nightmare' and 'The Future' reacting after Ruffy tapped.
