Ian Garry Stars In PETA Vegan Campaign

UFC welterweight Ian Garry has drawn backlash from fight fans after appearing in a new PETA vegan campaign.

The Ireland native, who fights at UFC 330 later this year, starred in a video released by the animal rights organisation this week promoting plant-based eating. MMA Mania reported the campaign sparked negative reactions across social media, with some fans taking issue with both the vegan messaging and PETA's involvement.

Garry's UFC 330 Role and Rising Profile

Garry has built a reputation as a welterweight contender with strong striking and what UFC president Dana White recently described as excellent takedown defence. The 26-year-old's willingness to align himself with controversial causes has become part of his public persona, though this latest campaign appears to have tested fan tolerance more than previous ventures.

The PETA video marks another instance of Garry courting attention outside the cage ahead of his next fight. Whether the publicity translates to increased pay-per-view buys at UFC 330 remains to be seen.
