“It’s crazy what a huge ego can do to people” – When fans mocked Ryan Garcia for stating he would knock out Conor McGregor in one round

Years ago, during an interview with Little Giant Boxing, Ryan Garcia made a bold statement about Conor McGregor. He confidently declared that if they were to ever fight, he would knock the Irishman unconscious. Fans were naturally intrigued by this statement.

Upon viewing the YouTube video in which Garcia made the claim, a multitude of individuals flocked to the comment section and proceeded to mock him extensively. Numerous commenters were quick to point out that Garcia’s bold statement only pertained to a potential boxing match against McGregor, rather than any other setting such as an MMA bout.

As a result, fans took full advantage of his remarks. A particular fan noted the rarity of boxers transitioning into MMA, except for a select few.

“I swear boxers don’t want the smoke in a UFC match”

One other fan maintained that McGregor would easily defeat Garcia in an MMA fight.

“He beats you in 10 seconds in MMA”

Some people expressed their disapproval of Garcia’s ego and arrogance.

Despite his past knockout loss to Gervonta Davis, ‘KingRy’ was reminded by some fans that McGregor had gone backstage to console him, further adding to the support for the fighter.

Displayed below is a compilation of fan responses:

Despite their previous differences, both men seemed to have reconciled and were on good terms today. McGregor seemed unbothered by Garcia’s remarks and paid him little attention. It is uncertain if he has any plans to face ‘KingRy’ in a boxing match, as McGregor has been known to be unpredictable in his choices of opponents in recent years.

Ryan Garcia has his sights set on multiple MMA fighters

Despite his confidence, Ryan Garcia faced intense criticism for his bold statements regarding UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley. The boxer, also known as ‘KingRy’, asserted that he could easily defeat O’Malley in an MMA match with limited preparation. He even cited his success in wrestling his bodyguard as proof of his innate ability in MMA.

In his appearance on The MMA Hour, Garcia referred to his bodyguard as a wrestler. This statement sparked widespread mockery from various corners of the combat sports community, leading O’Malley to create a skit poking fun at Garcia.
