Ian Garry says win over Daniel Rodriguez was 'perfect'

The fight was the last stoppage from Garry's career, he won a decision versus Neil Magny three months later.

Rodriguez was a sizeable underdog going into the fight so the loss wasn't out of left filed, but the way Garry finished him was highly impressive.

In less than three minutes Garry landed a perfectly timed right head kick to wobble Rodriguez to the canvas. While on the mat, Garry capitalized and landed ground and pound to finish the fight at officially 2:57 of the very first round.

“If you look at my Instagram, I’ve posted two photos this week,” Garry said after the fight. “One was me working the body kick and the other was saying practice makes permanent. And that head kick landed tonight, and it was perfect.

He continued, "D-Rod has never been knocked out right? I’m pretty sure that’s the first time he’s been knocked out."

Garry will fight Geoff Neal at UFC 298 on Feb. 17 in Anaheim, CA.
