‘Fake flat head’: MMA fighters pile on Ian Garry following UFC 296 withdrawal

Ian Garry UFC Vicente Luque UFC 296 (Event) Kevin Holland Terrance McKinney Brendan Schaub Bryce Mitchell Derek Brunson Henry Cejudo

After a rough build into UFC 296 fight week, Ian Garry once again put himself in the line of fire for criticism after he was removed from Saturday’s scheduled bout with Vicente Luque.

Garry (13-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) came down with a case of pneumonia that resulted in doctors pulling him from his anticipated welterweight matchup with Luque (22-9-1 MMA, 15-5 UFC) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

It was a disappointing end to a fight camp filled with personal adversity for Garry, and a number of fellow fighters did not miss the chance to pile on.

Check below for the top X (formerly Twitter) reactions to Garry being pulled from UFC 296.
