Brendan Allen says video of Ian Machado Garry getting KO'd in training exists: 'He knows what name not to say'

According to Brendan Allen, there’s footage of former Kill Cliff FC teammate Ian Machado Garry getting knocked out in the gym.

Allen and Garry have shared the mats several times at Kill Cliff, but Garry no longer trains there after being matched up with his teammate, Vicente Luque. Garry (13-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) meets Luque (22-9-1 MMA, 15-5 UFC) at UFC 296 on Dec. 16 in Las Vegas.

Allen, a rising contender in the middleweight division, doesn’t like how Garry portrays himself as invincible, especially after he was allegedly knocked out in training by a former teammate.

“I’ve met Ian, I know Ian, and I feel like you can put this persona on, but actions speak louder than words, and I think this is also one of those actions to where it speaks louder than words,” Allen told ESPN. “He can say what he wants, he can make whatever excuse he wants, and then like, you get things like, someone post a video of Shavkat (Rakhmonov) and Jason (Jackson) wrestling, I was there on that day. I watched it. I was two feet from it.

“One, I feel how I feel about the video but two, I think he commented somewhere on there. I heard someone say he commented somewhere on there. It’s like, he records everything, right? They record everything. But just know, there’s video, and he knows what name not to say to let it come out what happened to him. I’m not going to release it, but just know there is someone in that gym that has slept him out.”

Allen didn’t speak too fondly of Garry when recounting his time with him at Kill Cliff FC and said the brash Irishman just rubs him the wrong way.

“I think he’s whack,” Allen said. “I think he’s young. I think he’s misled. I think he talks way too much, but I understand he’s trying to be like Conor. But there’s only one Conor, sorry.”

Henry Cejudo: 'I still don't see Sean O'Malley as the best in the world' ahead of UFC 299

Henry Cejudo is not sold on Sean O'Malley as UFC bantamweight champion. O’Malley (17-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) knocked out Aljamain Sterling to become 135-pound champion at UFC 292, whereas Cejudo is coming off a close title loss to Sterling at UFC 288 . O’Malley will make his first title defense against Marlon Vera in the UFC 299 headliner on March 9, and Cejudo is still adamant that “Chito” beats O’Malley again – despite being a sizable underdog. “I still don’t see Sean O’Malley as the best in the world,” Cejudo said on Daniel Cormier’s YouTube channel . “I don’t. I do believe ‘Chito’ Vera is going to beat him. You have good defense, you walk that dude down, you kick his freaking legs – he still has that wide leg – you kick his legs, you just bring the fight to him and grit. “This is what Sean O’Malley will do: He’ll look at the clock because he throws a lot of power. He is precise, but he throws a lot of it. I would bet the house on ‘Chito.’ Once I beat Merab (Dvalishvili), I’m goi...

Jim Miller had no problem accepting short-notice replacement Jared Gordon: 'Business as usual'

LAS VEGAS – With over 50 professional MMA fights, Jim Miller has been through it all, which has brought a level of comfort few have in this sport. That’s why when the UFC called with Jared Gordon as a replacement opponent for Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 45, Miller (35-17 MMA, 24-16 UFC) had no problem saying yes. At this point, there’s little the UFC lightweight veteran hasn’t seen, and he expects to be ready Saturday. “(It’s) business as usual,” Miller told reporters at Wednesday’s UFC on ESPN 45 news conference. “That’s three in a row that opponents drop out like two weeks or less for the event. And I think it’s a total of nine times in my career with the UFC, so more like 25 percent. But yeah, business as usual. “I train to be the best fighter that I can be every out. At this point I’ve fought everybody from the top lanky 6’4” lefties, to guys my height, and righties and grapplers. So I just appreciated when guys are willing to step up because there are a lot of fighters that say...
