UFC welterweight contender Ian Garry calls out Colby Covington: “I will rag doll him”
Ian Garry, the rising star in the UFC welterweight division, is not one to shy away from a challenge. The undefeated fighter has set his sights on former interim welterweight champion Colby Covington, sending a clear message during an exclusive interview with Full Send MMA.
Garry, who boasts an impressive record of 14-0 in MMA and 7-0 in the UFC, did not mince words when discussing a potential matchup with Covington. “If Colby signs that contract [to fight me], I’m gonna walk out with my knee up going, ‘Take the f****** thing. Take the f****** thing and let’s see what happens.’ I will rag doll him. I promise you now,” said Garry.
The Irish sensation went on to express his confidence in facing Covington, stating, “The truth is, I genuinely don’t see any world where Colby signs the contract. I genuinely don’t, but if he’s man enough to, and if he has the balls to do it, then Colby, show up.”
Garry made it clear that his desire to fight Covington is not based on the former champion’s popularity, but rather on the desire of fans to see Covington lose. “Show the people why you’re so good,” Garry challenged Covington. “I don’t think you’re any f****** good, and I think I’ll slap the mouth off you within five minutes.”
The confident fighter also warned Covington about underestimating him, stating, “Colby’s just talking s*** to keep his name relevant because he doesn’t want to fight again. He got his ass handed to him by Leon [Edwards]. And someone like me, a young buck coming up, undefeated. I’ll retire that man and take him out of this game [MMA] for good.”
Garry has set his sights on a potential fight with Covington on June 29, coinciding with UFC 303 headlined by Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler. “Colby, be the man you say you are,” Garry challenged Covington. “Sign the f******* contract. Show up June 29 and just get your ass whooped.”
Fans of MMA are eagerly anticipating a potential showdown between Ian Garry and Colby Covington, with Garry’s confidence and determination setting the stage for an explosive matchup. Stay tuned to MMA Knockout for more updates on this developing story.
