Ian Garry says he wants to finish off the year fighting on a Conor McGregor card

It looks like Ian Garry is gunning for a fight under the Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler card later this year. In an interview with BT Sport, the undefeated welterweight prospect stated that he wants to finish off the year fighting on a McGregor card.

During the interview, the 25-year-old laid out his dream scenario for 2023, giving a potential timeline for when and which cards he'd like to fight this year:

"March 4th Vegas. Ideally... I starch this guy in under eight minutes, I come out uninjured, untouched, and then I call on the mic for the Miami card [UFC 287]... Go in there, do the job. Two finishes in five weeks... [Then] fight middle of summer [or] end of summer, kind of like July [or] August."

Garry added:

"Conor is not back in the USADA testing pool yet, so he needs at least six months. So you're probably not talking until about October, November, [or] December until him and Chandler go at it and that'll be my final fight of the year."
