Ryan Garcia was not messing around when he said he would fight in the UFC. The young boxer can not step into the boxing ring in a professional capacity for a year anyway. So might as well try his hand at something new. To prove how serious he is, the controversial boxer as posted a video of him wrestling.
Following the news that the New York State Athletic Commission had banned him for 1 year, Garcia had immediately tweeted out that he was making a move to the UFC. He even spoke about getting in contact with Dana White to make it happen.
But now that he’s officially wrestling, fans can not believe he was serious about it.

However, despite all this UFC talk, it doesn’t look like Garcia is done with boxing yet because he can’t help but talk!
‘KingRy’ calls out Shakur Stevenson for punching like a ‘p*ssy’
Although ‘KingRy’ is itching to get back into the ring, it isn’t possible for atleast a year. But nobody can suspend or ban a man’s mouth!
The controversial boxer recently called out Stevenson for putting on a boring fight, making yet another enemy in the game. Alluding to the fact that Stevenson does not possess knockout power and most of his fights go the distance, the boxer said,
“You aren’t like that buddy, everyone and I mean everyone knows you are terrified in that ring You fight like a scared man and punch like a p*ssy”
No Timothy Bradley just sucks your nutz everytime you fight, truth is he needs to be fired and should keep it with the fans
You aren’t like that buddy, everyone and I mean everyone knows you are terrified in that ring
You fight like a scared man and punch like a pussy https://t.co/8RzdoFDvMD

In reply to this, Stevenson simply asked Garcia why he was not in therapy!
