Could Colby Covington face Ian Garry in the near future? It’s a fight that Colby clearly wants after losing his latest title fight to Leon Edwards.
After losing a one-sided decision to Leon Edwards, Colby Covington has another potential opponent in his sights: Ian Garry.
Garry is set to fight Geoff Neil at UFC 298 in February, but we’re sure a fight with No. 5 ranked Colby would interest the young fighter (should he get past Neil). And just in case “The Future” needs some reasons to fight, Covington threw some trash talk his way during an appearance with Tucker Carlson.
“There’s one guy that’s a legitimate cuck and I’ve called him out for that,” Covington said. “I just said the truth. I said ‘That’s disgusting, you’re a cuck and your wife is a vile lady.’ She’s selling books promoting being a ‘WAG,’ being a wife and a girlfriend.”
“I’m not gonna let the world not notice that. I’m gonna bring it to the forefront and make sure everyone’s talking about it and make it a joke for you.”
We can’t believe that Covington has gotten this lazy with his villain schtick that he can’t even trash talk Ian Garry’s wife properly. She didn’t write a book on being his wife and a girlfriend to someone else. WAGs is an acronym for ‘Wives and Girlfriends’ and is the blanket term used by tabloids for the women sports stars date.
Ian’s wife Layla did write a book on how to become a WAG so you can mooch off your rich husband. Was it satirical, as she claims? Was it the blueprint she used to snag the much younger Garry? That’s the bit, not this ‘cuck’ thing Covington continues to be obsessed with.
It’s not like Covington has ever had an issue with his trash talk being mostly lies, but this just feels lazy. Regardless, he’s hoping it will draw in Garry.
“I think he probably wants to settle the differences in the Octagon,” Covington said. “It just so happens I like to fight in the Octagon, so if it needs to happen one day, I’d be honored to settle that.
