Layla Anna-Lee shares five-word post on husband Ian Machado Garry's staggering success ahead of UFC 310
It looks like Ian Machado Garry's popularity is soaring in the lead-up to his UFC 310 fight against Shavkat Rakhmonov, and the Irishman's wife Layla Anna-Lee couldn't be more proud.
In a recent post on Instagram, the television personality shared a video of Garry's reaction while watching the UFC pay-per-view posters featuring him light up numerous popular billboards in Las Vegas.
In the footage 'The Future' can be seen being overwhelmed by the moment, shouting:
"All over Vegas... Say daddy we did it. Leo [his son], say daddy we did it, we did it. We're all over Vegas. We made it."
Reacting to her husband's staggering success in MMA, Anna-Lee titled the post:
"Our fantasy is our reality."

Garry, ranked No. 7 at welterweight is currently a +295 underdog against the No. 3 ranked 'Nomad', a -375 favorite. The winner is expected to face champion Belal Muhammad in their next fight.
Making the matchup more interesting is the fact that both men are currently undefeated, with Garry holding a record of 15-0 and Rakhmonov 18-0. All the Kazakh's wins have come via finishes.
While a flyweight clash between Alexandre Pantoja and Kai Asakura will headline the fight card, many such as former UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen have dubbed the co-main event as the 'people's main event' of the pay-per-view.

Though many believe Shavkat Rakhmonov's wrestling and pressure will be Ian Machado Garry's downfall, Gilbert Burns, who has seen both men in action at Kill Cliff FC, is convinced 'The Future' might pull off the upset.
During a recent appearance on the Show Me the Money podcast, 'Durinho' claimed that 'Nomad' might underestimate his opponent given that he submitted Garry during a past training session.
The Brazilian also pushed back on claims that 'The Future' would be helpless on the ground against Rakhmonov, saying:
"Ian Garry [is going to win]... I just feel Shavkat is overconfident because he submitted him before in training... Ian travels the world to learn. The guy went to Iceland to grapple with Gunnar Nelson, then he went to Brazil to train with Charles Oliveira... The guy that Shavkat finished, maybe a year, or two years ago, is not the same guy right now... I don't think [Rakhmonov] will take him down that easy."
