Unbeaten Irish fighter Ian Garry's next UFC opponent confirmed

Ian Garry's next fight will take place on July 2 against Gabe Green on the prelims for UFC 276.

The 24-year-old Dubliner has so far knocked out Jordan Williams and earned a decision nod over Darian Weeks in his two UFC bouts.

He fights at welterweight and should be in for a jump in competition in this fight as Green is 11-3 overall and 2-1 since joining the UFC's ranks.

Upon word breaking of the bout, Garry tweeted: "It’s official, I’ll be fighting on International Fight Week Las Vegas July 2nd.

"Three massive PPV cards in the space of 8 months. I’m Active AF and I can guarantee you now Gabe Green isn’t the guy to stop the hype, The only one who’s being ‘Gifted’ here is Me."

The entire card for UFC 276 shapes up to be one of the best of the year as middleweight king Israel Adesanya defends his crown against Jared Cannonier while featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski takes on former champion Max Holloway for a third time.

Their two previous fights have been instant classics with many viewers feeling 'Blessed' should have been given the decision last time in 2020.
