Why Ian Garry moved to Brazil to train with Demian Maia ahead of UFC 330

Ian Garry, an Irish fighter with a 17-1 record, is set to travel to Brazil to train with grappling legend Demian Maia ahead of his upcoming fight for the UFC welterweight title at UFC 330. Garry, also known as "The Future," has trained in various locations, including England, Ireland, and Brazil, to hone his skills and become the best version of himself.

He attributes his decision to move to Brazil to training under Maia, who he considers the greatest grappler in MMA history. Garry's previous training locations include Kill Cliff FC in Florida, where he trained under coach Henri Hooft, and Team Renegade in Birmingham, England, where he was allegedly banned for recording training sessions without permission.
