Ian Garry is no longer welcome at Team Renegade in Birmingham.
In October, the fast-rising Irish star revealed that he had been banished from the famed European gym at the request of reigning UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards, who is currently in camp for his highly anticipated title tilt with Colby Covington on December 16.
Garry, who returns that same night against Vicente Luque, was informed of his exile by Team Renegade coaches who reportedly placed the blame on the shoulders of Edwards.
“Leon and his head coach had an issue with me training on the mats and recently have asked me not to train there, because, ‘Leon doesn’t want any insecurities or doubts on his own mats, within the gym,’ which I don’t fully understand, Garry claimed in an interview with The Independent “I get that we’re both in the top 10 and you might see me as a threat, but I’m not a threat to you right now; I’m not fighting for the title right now.
