IRISH UFC star Ian Machado Garry revealed he has bought his dream home after “three years of living in hotels”.
The undefeated welterweight took to Instagram to reveal the life milestone, complete with a photo of him signing the lease.
He said: “Three years of living in hotels and airbnb’s has paid off… Finally bought my dream home and I couldn’t be more proud”
The 26-year-old also shared a photo of his son stepping foot inside the house, with fans flocking to the comments to congratulate Garry.
One said: “Future home of the 170 belt” while a second posted: “Well done” and John Kavanagh– long-time coach of Conor McGregor– added: “Congratulations”
Garry extended his record in the UFC to 15-0 with a career-best victory over Michael ‘Venom’ Page at UFC 303 back in June.
The Irishman faced the former long-time Bellatorstar back in June on a stacked card in Las Vegas.
Many felt the elusive and dynamic Page would prove to be too much for Garry to overcome.
But ‘The Future’ passed the tough test of his career with flying colours to catapult himself into title contention.
The 26-year-old – who went into the contest lamenting hero McGregor’s withdrawal from the card– edged out Page via unanimous decision to extend his record to a perfect 15-0.
And he put the rest of the 170lbs division on notice in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, saying: ” I just want to let everybody know, I’m coming for that world title.
“15-0, undefeated, unstoppable.
“I don’t care who’s next, where it is, I’m gonna be a world champion.
“‘The Future’ is inevitable and I’m coming for that belt.”
All three judges scored the fight in Garry’s favour.
However, UFC head honcho Dana White admitted he thought it should have been a draw.
He said: “Sean [Shelby] and Mick [Maynard] felt that fight would play out exactly the way it did, we talked about it leading up to this fight.
“I had that fight a draw.
“If [the judges] came out and said that fight was a draw, that’s exactly what I thought that fight was too.
“Obviously, Ian won the first round, MVP won the second round, and it was 50/50 in the third round.”
