MMA Twitter is at it again. Ian Machado Garry and his wife Layla Machado Garry are the latest target of the Twitter mob who is sharing their thoughts about a book that Layla wrote about how to become a "WAG." For those of you unfamiliar, a WAG is the wife or girlfriend of a professional athlete.
It all started when the MMA Guru brought up the book on his YouTube channel.

The couple have been a constant source of discussion for everything from her age, to him taking her last name, to Ian hiring her ex-husband, her policing how he responds to interviews and now the book.
Here's how Twitter reacted.
Lmao Ian Garry’s 40 year old wife wrote a book on how to trap young rich athletes and be a “WAG” before she ever met him💀

How did the dude fall for this when she's so open about it 🤦♂️ 🗑️ pic.twitter.com/LGp70umJ0l
One of the worst things about MMA fans is how hypocritical they are. They'll constantly complain about people talking bringing up fighter's "personal lives" when it's something like domestic violence, but then turn around and eat up the drama when it's Ian Garry's wife.

After the comments began making their rounds, Layla took to Twitter to set the record straight on several rumors.
"Some crazy sh*t I can’t believe ppl believed," she wrote. "Ian did not take my exs name. My ex doesn’t live with us . I do not control Ian’s assets. I do not control the number ten in the world ufc fighter. If you ever met him you’d shut your mouth."
Some crazy shit I can’t believe ppl believed:
— Layla Machado Garry (@Laylaloves) November 23, 2023
Ian did not take my exs name
My ex doesn’t live with us 😂
I do not control Ian’s assets
I do not control the number ten in the world ufc fighter. If you ever met him you’d shit your mouth.
She also explained that she is studying slander, libel and defamation and explained what she plans on doing with the knowledge.
Defamation is super simple. Is it a lie, was it publicised, was it intentional? Tick those tree boxes and I’m gonna make your negative a positive. There’s a pattern. The more successful we become the more shit ppl talk. I can turn all this into a positive now. I’m ready.

Ian and his wife are the subject of criticism today but come tomorrow MMA Twitter will likely have moved on to whatever the next thing to complain about will be.
