Ian Garry is determined to leave a lasting impact on Colby Covington’s UFC career if they were to face off in the future. Garry, who recently made a successful comeback at UFC 298, expressed his desire to dominate Covington in the presence of Donald Trump. He intends to prove his superiority over the controversial fighter and put an end to their rivalry once and for all.
During an appearance on the MMA Hour show, Garry made it clear that he won’t back down from Covington’s trash-talking. He visualized a scenario where Trump would be in attendance, and Garry would showcase his skills by overpowering ‘Chaos’ inside the octagon. His motivation stems from Covington’s disrespectful comments about Garry’s wife and himself. Garry wants to embarrass Covington in front of his idol and show him the consequences of his actions.
While Garry continues to build an undefeated record of fourteen wins, Covington recently suffered his third unsuccessful attempt at the title. After losing to at UFC 296, a matchup between Garry and Covington seems justified. The animosity and controversies surrounding them make it a highly anticipated fight within the UFC community.
Following his loss to Leon Edwards at UFC 296, Covington’s return to the Octagon was met with disappointment. On the other hand, Ian Garry, a promising prospect, seized the opportunity to challenge Covington after his victory over Geoff Neal at UFC 298. Garry expressed his intentions to retire Covington and called him out during the post-fight press conference. He aimed to defeat Covington dominantly and taunted him for his unsuccessful attempts at the UFC title.
Covington’s derogatory remarks about Garry during the lead-up to UFC 296 didn’t go unnoticed. Garry took offense and saw Covington as a mere stepping stone on his path to the welterweight title. In response, Garry challenged Covington to settle their differences inside the octagon, viewing it as an opportunity to prove his worth and advance his career.
