Ian Garry has revealed his inner thoughts ahead of the UFC 296 fight against Vincente Luque. The Welterweight from Ireland feels concerned about the safety of his family, especially his wife, Layla Anna-Lee.
Garry spoke about his visit to Las Vegas for UFC 296: “I am a little cautious about going to America for the safety of my family, with all the sh*t that been going on online. To protect my wife, to protect my child, to protect myself. I am not remotely concerned or worried about the fight. Fight is fun. Fight is easy for me but me not being able to react to people in person. It is going to wind me up a little”.

Layla Anna-Lee has been subject to online abuse since fans noticed that in the past she wrote a book about ‘How to Be a WAG’ and Layla’s ex-husband, Richard Cullen, lives with the couple because Cullen is Garry’s current nutritionist. UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland added fuel to the fire by expressing his concerns about Layla’s motive to marry the UFC star.
Strickland commented: “Ian Garry, I remember when I met you dude, it was in New York. I remember thinking to myself, there ain’t something right about that girl. Now I’m finding out you’re 26, she’s ****ing 40. The ex ****ing husband lives with you, you took the last name”.

Strickland concluded by boldly stating, “This **** ain’t right dude, she’s a succubus. You got to run away bro”. Following the comments from Strickland, Ian Garry, and Layla, both have been facing various degrees of online scrutiny about their internal affairs, which has raised alarm bells for the UFC star. These latest comments are evidence of the fact that this online abuse is getting to Garry’s head.
Ian Garry’s wife reacted to criticism about writing a book about how to Be a WAG
Layla Anna-Lee’s main criticism is in connection with her book. The TV sports presenter recently spoke about the issue to clear things up. She pointed to the fact that ‘How to Be a WAG’ can hardly be titled as a book since it is an 11-page audible-only story that was created back in 2010.
She further explained how the project was a satire and wasn’t supposed to be taken seriously. Furthermore, she was working during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and as part of her work with various gossip magazines, she created this hilarious satire project as an observational piece on wives and girlfriends (WAGs) in football.

The project was a huge success at the time and was applauded for its humor, but 13 years later, the context of the project has been twisted to paint her in a bad light. The description of the project on Amazon reads, “How to Be a WAG – the ultimate guide to catching the man of your dreams,” which can create confusion regarding the intention of the project.
Layla Anna-Lee and Ian Garry are both adults, and the motives of each partner for this relationship are the inner workings of their chemistry. Online trolls and fans can criticize their end, but when the individuals feel concerned for their safety, then the matter has gone overboard. Fans, fighters, and experts need to express their opinions on this matter with caution to avoid any more trouble.
