Conor McGregor Says He Would Fight Ian Garry for Welterweight Title “No Problem”
During a recent press conference, Conor McGregor was asked about his long-term goal of becoming a triple champion. The conversation turned to a specific scenario involving the welterweight division and rising contender Ian Garry.
A reporter asked McGregor what would happen if Ian Garry were to win the welterweight title. The question was clear: would McGregor still pursue that belt, or would he avoid the matchup against a fellow Irish fighter?
McGregor did not hesitate. When directly asked if he would fight Ian Garry for the title, he gave a straightforward and confident answer.
“No problem,” McGregor said. “No problemo, as they say in Brazil.”
The response drew smiles and laughter from those in attendance. McGregor delivered the line with his usual calm demeanor while seated at the press conference table, with the welterweight title belt positioned in front of him.
McGregor has repeatedly spoken about his desire to capture titles in multiple weight classes. His willingness to fight Garry, should the opportunity arise, fits directly into that ambition. Rather than avoiding a fellow Irishman or a potential stylistic challenge, McGregor made it clear he has no issue stepping up.
The exchange highlighted McGregor’s mindset heading into the next phase of his career. He has shown no interest in picking and choosing easy paths. Instead, he continues to express openness to the biggest and most meaningful fights available, including one against another Irish fighter chasing greatness in the same division.
McGregor’s short but decisive answer sent a clear message. If Ian Garry wins the welterweight title, McGregor is ready to meet him for it. No excuses, no hesitation — just “No problem.”
As McGregor continues to prepare for his own return, moments like these reinforce his reputation as a fighter who welcomes challenges at the highest level. Whether the fight happens or not remains to be seen, but his position on the matter is now perfectly clear.
