King Ryan's Backstage Rage: Benavidez Fuels Garcia's Fiery Weigh-In Warm-Up

The calm before the storm? Not for Ryan Garcia. Hours before Friday’s crucial weigh-in, “King Ryan” was channeling pure, unadulterated fury backstage in Las Vegas, and he had a monster in his corner to help him do it.

TMZ Sports has obtained exclusive footage showing Garcia, hyped and shirtless, unleashing a primal scream that could probably be heard from the Strip. But the real story isn’t just Garcia’s raw energy—it’s the man fueling the fire. Standing right beside him, hyping him up with intense focus, was none other than the undefeated boogeyman of the super middleweight division, David “The Mexican Monster” Benavidez.

This isn’t just a casual pep talk from a fellow fighter. Benavidez, a two-time world champ known for his brutal power, is a strategic ally and a terrifying presence. Having him in your corner, literally and figuratively, sends a deafening message to the boxing world and Garcia’s upcoming opponent. It’s a show of force, a display of killer instinct, and a psychological war waged before a single official scale is touched.

The video captures a fighter not just preparing for a weigh-in, but mentally transporting himself into the ring for battle. With Benavidez—a man who relishes destruction—egging him on, Garcia’s intense display goes beyond pre-fight nerves. It’s a declaration of war, a promise that the king is coming not just to make weight, but to make a statement. The question now is: who on earth can stand in front of this unleashed version of Ryan Garcia?
