Unbeaten welterweight striker, Ian Garry appears to have given up on his pursuit of a potential title-eliminator against former champion, Colby Covington, and has now switched his focus to a clash against recent UFC addition, Michael Venom Page in a summer comeback.

Garry, the current number seven ranked welterweight contender, returned at UFC 298 back in February in Anaheim, turning in a close split decision win over Geoff Neal to improve to 14-0 as a professional.

As for former Bellator MMA championship challenger, Page, the London striker made his long-anticipated Octagon bow at UFC 299 back in March against Kevin Holland, turning in a one-sided unanimous judging win over the promotional staple. 

And staking his claim for a feature alongside compatriot, Conor McGregor at UFC 303 during International Fight Week, Garry has so far failed in his bid to secure a fight with outspoken contender, Covington – with the Clovis native appearing to move on from a clash with the Dubliner.

In turn, Garry has revealed recently he's agreed to fight the likes of Sean Brady as well as recent UFC St. Louis winner, Joaquin Buckley – and even recent promotional debutante, Michael Venom Page.

"I can only fight down in the rankings, and this is where I've got to show that I will fight anyone," Ian Garry told talkSPORT during a recent interview. 

"I've said yes [to fighting against Michael Venom Page]," Ian Garry explained. "I've said yes to that name, him and his coaches are deciding because he seems a bit heavy to make weight in seven weeks' time, but I've said yes." 

Linked with a return at UFC 304 in July in a return to Manchester, former Bellator MMA star, Michael Venom Page name-dropped a potential fight with Garry on that card earlier this annum, as he hopes to make his way to a blockbuster fight with compatriot, Leon Edwards for gold.
