Ian Garry once more guns for Colby Covington in the ongoing feud between the welterweight contenders.
Since his decisive win over Geoff Neal at UFC 298 the Irishman has called for the head of Covington on numerous occasions. The past 12 months for Garry have been turbulent outside the cage as fans have turned on the rising star. Yet this has not deterred him as he has continued to rise up the rankings with a now 7-0 record n the UFC.
Covington has been lingering around the top of the division for quite some time and after three unsuccessful title shots many agree that he should be looking down the rankings at offering upcoming fighters opportunities.
Ian Garry Has a Message for Colby Covington
Machado Garry now training out of Brazil sat down with MMAFighting in São Paulo and one of the key topics was Colby Covington. This is what he had to say.
” I want to fight him because of the following he has, the respect on his name as one of the better fighters in this division… I want to fight him because of all the s**t that he has talked about me and my family, and I’m going to make sure that he regrets every word he’s said. ” He followed up with ” But I also know that even if it was the best Colby Covington we’ve ever seen, he would never stand a chance against me. “
“No matter how good Colby Covington ever could be or would be, he would never be able to beat me. I’m too elite, I’m too fast, I’m too technically brilliant. He just doesn’t stand a chance.” Garry finished by saying “I’ll step into that octagon and I’ll retire him. That’s my goal. My whole goal to when I fight Colby Covington is that he never puts on MMA gloves ever again.”

If the bout materialises the aim for the Irishman is for UFC 303 at the end of June. Additionally, the International fight week event is rumoured as the return date for the notorious Conor McGregor against Michael Chandler. Being International Fight Week the card needs big names and this rumoured fight is perfect for the event and would sit pretty on the main card.
