Ian Garry and Colby Covington
Ian Garry Calls Out Colby Covington for Explosive UFC Dublin Showdown!
UFC welterweight sensation Ian Garry is making bold moves with his next opponent choice. While Garry aims to secure his title as the division’s best striker by taking on Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson, he’s also eyeing a thrilling matchup against Colby Covington in Dublin, Ireland.
Garry expressed his eagerness to showcase his grappling and wrestling skills against the division’s elite, stating, “You give me Sean Brady, I’ll submit him. You give me Usman or Colby Covington, I’ll out grapple them, outwrestle them. I’ll find a way to win.”
However, it’s the prospect of bringing Colby Covington to Dublin that’s creating buzz. Garry mentioned his desire, saying, “I’d love to bring someone like Colby here. I don’t know if they’d ever do that, but I think that would be exciting.”
With a spotless 13-0 record and an impressive six-fight UFC win streak, Garry is undoubtedly on the path to greatness. While the fight with Stephen Thompson remains a top priority, the prospect of a showdown with Colby Covington in Dublin promises an exciting matchup filled with trash talk and fireworks.
Though Stephen Thompson initially turned down a fight with Garry, the Irishman remains confident that negotiations will lead to a compelling showdown. As Garry’s star continues to rise, fight fans are eagerly anticipating his next move in the welterweight division.
Gilbert Burns, a former welterweight title challenger, believes that his teammate Ian Machado Garry is destined for greatness in the UFC. After Ian Garry’s impressive victory over veteran Neil Magny at UFC 292, Burns sees him as a future welterweight champion.
During an appearance on MMA Fighting’s Trocação Franca podcast, Burns praised Garry’s potential, saying, “I think so—in a few years, yes. He’s a great kid, 25 years old. This kid is a badass.”
Burns also commended Garry’s pre-fight predictions and his ability to execute his fight strategy effectively. Garry had confidently predicted the outcome of the fight with Magny and delivered on his promises.
While Burns is currently recovering from a shoulder injury, he anticipates returning to action in early 2024. He recognizes the emergence of young talents like Shavkat Rakhmonov, Jack Della Maddalena, Michael Morales, and Gabriel Bonfim in the welterweight division, making it a competitive and evolving landscape.
Despite being 37 years old, Burns maintains a hunger for competition and believes he has several years left in his MMA career. He expressed confidence in his abilities and the potential for success, citing the examples of fighters like Glover Teixeira and Alex Pereira, who achieved championship success later in their careers.
With Burns’ endorsement and the remarkable performance of Ian Garry, fight fans have reason to be excited about Garry’s future in the UFC’s welterweight division.
