Background
Garry started training boxing at 10 years old. When Conor McGregor drew attention to MMA in Ireland, Garry was inspired to try Judo to expand his martial art skillset. He became a black belt in Judo at the age of 18. After attending Dublin Institute of Technology for a couple of months, he dropped out to focus on martial arts. He had his first amateur bout shortly after he turned 19, and debuted professionally at the age of 21.[10][11][3]

He won the bout and the title via unanimous decision.[17][18]
