Leon Edwards' coach reveals why he asked Ian Garry to leave Team Renegade
A few weeks ago, there was a lot of talk about the incident that took place at the Renegade MMA gym in Birmingham. Ian Garry had come to train at the gym and was allegedly asked to get out of the gym by Leon Edwards' coach. Garry came out with a series of videos on his Instagram page to explain what happened. In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, David Lovell gave his side of the story:
"He was doing things that me personally as the head coach never agreed with, and I politely asked the kid. In no disrespectful way, well look son you don't fit in here, I think it's time for you to move on. And as far as I'm concerned that's the end of the story Ariel. There's been a lot of drama now that's came out."
