MMA Fighting

Ryan Garcia is Tweeting through it.

On Thursday, boxing report Dan Rafael broke the news that Garcia reached a settlement agreement with the New York State Athletic Commission after testing positive for banned substances following his April 20 bout against Devin Haney. Per the agreement, Garcia’s win is no officially overturned to a No-Contest, Garcia will receive a one-year suspension from competition, he will forfeit his official purse to Golden Boy Promotions, and he will pay a $10,000 fine.

As you can imagine, Garcia didn’t take the news well.

Garcia, who has maintained his innocence throughout this process, took to Twitter after the news broke, lamenting his situation and lashing out at Haney in a series of emotional Tweets.

“They took my victory away. It’s okay, I’m retired. I’ll come back in a year. I was already retired so I’ll just come back out of retirement for a year.

“Nothing that was in my system was enough for any!!!!!!! This is why I’m done with the game. I never F’ing cheated. F YOU

“I don’t give a f*ck I’m hitting the switch again.

“Take away my victory add that on to the list of the shit I’m already going [through]. I’m ready for business. Get ready I already ain’t give a f*ck. Run when you see me.

“F*CK YOU CRY BABY B*TCH”

In the midst of his Twitter tirade, Garcia also teased a possible shift to MMA in response to his boxing troubles.

“I’m headed to the UFC. Dana [White] I want my 50 gs. For real Dana White hit me up.”

While Garcia teasing a UFC move is unlikely to end up happening, it’s worth noting that the NYSAC suspension would still preclude Garcia from competing in MMA the same as in boxing.

Garcia then continued his tirade

“I’m [mad emoji].

“I really hope boxing good without me. I fought everyone and was willing to. They have turned [their] back on me. I’m innocent. I stand by that I don’t care what everyone says. Gun [to] my head I say I didn’t take PEDs.

“Boxing is DEAD DEAD [skull emoji].

“Boxing messing with the wrong one.

“IMA DIG THEN DIG HARDER.

“Y’all never went [through] what I’ve been through. I’m innocent. You don’t know what I’m feeling. I’ve been fighting since I was seven. Someone cheated me. [Sad face emoticon]”

All of this comes after Garcia claimed to retire from boxing on Wednesday night, citing a litany of personal struggles.
