Up-and-coming Irish superstar Ian Garry has a challenge for Colby Covington, and it’s a little unusual for the sport of MMA, to say the least.

Riding a 14-0 streak, the undefeated Garry has now forged his way into the midst of the welterweight elite. His last outing saw him squeeze out a split-decision victory over the always-tough Geoff Neal, and now Garry’s sights are set even further up the totem pole and locked onto a potential fight with Covington.

Covington is no stranger to throwing shots, and ‘The Future’ has been an easy target for him. Most recently, ‘Chaos’ released a video in which he called Garry’s wife a “Gold-digging wh*re” and claimed since she wore the pants in the relationship, she could get down on her knees and beg Covington to accept the fight with Ian Garry.

Colby Covington’s scathing callout of Ian Garry

Garry would inevitably release a comeback and add his own stipulations to the mix, including his desire for the fight to be an ‘I quit’ match in which the loser retires from MMA.

Ian Garry responds to Colby Covington’s Callout video

“Listen here, Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington,” Ian Garry began, in his own response video. “You are in no position to tell me what I should be doing in life. You’ll do what you’re told.” The video then cuts to a montage of Covington’s title fights, showcasing all the times the referee has raised the other fighter’s hand, rubbing it in that ‘Chaos’ has never been victorious in a UFC title fight.

“…You’re not America’s favorite fighter,” Garry continued. What you are is a peak underperformer. You are the only person in UFC history to lose three world title fights. And you haven’t got a single win against anybody in the (welterweight) top 15 right now. So Colby, why should I fight you?”

I can think of one reason: I challenge you to an ‘I quit’ match. One of us has to say: ‘I quit’, and whoever says the words ‘I quit’ has to retire. Gloves off, center of the octagon, sayonara, my friend. I’m going to be the final chapter in your legacy of failure. I’m going to rid the UFC of Colby Covington for good, and I’m going to make MMA great again.”

Colby Covington unimpressed with Michael Venom Page’s UFC debut: ‘I saw another easy paycheck

Former UFC interim welterweight champion Colby Covington wasn’t impressed with Michael Page’s performance against Kevin Holland.

Page made his UFC debut at UFC 299 last weekend and picked up a decision win over Kevin Holland. The longtime Bellator veteran was able to frustrate Holland with his striking style and edged out the decision win.

Although Michael Page did beat a top-15 opponent in his UFC debut, Colby Covington wasn’t impressed with it at all and thinks ‘MVP’ sucks.

“The guy’s trash,” Covington told Submission Radio. “He’s a bum. I mean, look at his last fight before that. He got beat by a guy that fights in Indian casinos. He got beat by Mike Perry. We saw how the Mike Perry experience ended up in the UFC – guy getting his nose crooked, smashed and knocked out like three or four times in a row. It just shows: The kid’s just hyped. They’re trying to hype him up.

“They’re giving him a guy in Kevin Holland who’s a complete scrub – I mean, 50/50 fighter at best in the division. And that’s all you could do? Just that pathetic fight and that pathetic walkout? Like, that wasn’t entertaining, man. It doesn’t work. It only works when you’re good and you’re at the top of the division, not when you’re fighting scrubs that shouldn’t even be fighting in the UFC in the first place. So I didn’t make anything of it. I just saw another easy money paycheck if the UFC ever wants to give me that in the future,” Covington added.

Although Colby Covington wasn’t impressed with Michael Page’s UFC debut, the Brit did beat a ranked welterweight and will get another big fight next time out.

Colby Covington eyes Ian Machado Garry fight

Colby Covington also responded to Ian Machado Garry’s callout on Wednesday and he expressed interest in the matchup.

Garry called out Covington following his UFC 298 win and many fans were interested in the matchup. Chaos’ took his time to respond but did show interest in fighting the Irishman as the co-main event to the potential Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler card.

Covington is coming off a decision loss to Leon Edwards back in December for the welterweight title. Before that, he beat Jorge Masvidal by decision to return to the win column after loisng to Kamaru Usman for the belt.

Colby Covington urges Ian Garry’s wife to ‘get on your knees and beg for the fight’ in shocking call out

Colby Covington is again fanning the flames of his fiery rivalry with Irish standout Ian Garry.

Though they’ve never actually stepped inside the Octagon, Covington’s intense back-and-forth with the rising welterweight contender has become one of the more intriguing feuds of the last year. Kickstarting in late 2023, ‘Chaos’ jumped on the bandwagon of trashing Garry and his 40-year-old wife, Layla Anna-Lee, who has been accused of being a “gold digger” and a “predator” by fans and fighters alike.

Covington was far from the first to make such comments, but his consistent attack on Garry’s relationship has understandably caught the Irishman’s attention. Following his win over Geoff Neal at UFC 298 last month, Garry called out ‘Chaos’ in his post-fight interview, making it clear that he wants to be the man that sends the three-time title challenger into retirement.

Every time Garry does an interview, Covington’s name seemingly pops up, a consistency that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Clovis, California native. Snapping back at Garry’s continued remarks, Covington delivered another WWE-style promo while boating in sunny South Florida.

“Ian Garry, you translucent cuck, you wanted my attention. Now you got it,” Covington said in a video posted on social media. “Everybody knows why you want to fight me, Ian. I’m the biggest star in the division. It’s big city, bright lights, and the most attention and eyes you’re ever going to have on you when if we fight.

“But everybody knows Ian, you missed your chance. You had your chance in December to step on the same stage as me and have a microphone and say whatever you want to say to me. But you were scared of what I was going to say to you. You got the sniffles and cried your way out.

“That was just a taste of what I can do to you, Ian. All I did was ask the 5,000 people in attendance how many people banged your wife. It’s not my fault every single one of them raised their hand. If you’re scared of words, what do you think it’s going to be like when you step into the steel cage with Chaos?

“You just went life and death with a guy who does this part-time and is a busboy at Outback. Dude serves blooming onions for a living and you went to a split decision with that guy. Now you want Donald Trump’s favorite fighter? That’s a big step up in competition, junior. You’re biting off more than you can chew, but you know what? I’m a giving man. I’m a kind man. I like to give everyone a chance. Everybody knows what’s in it for you, but what’s in it for me?”

Colby Covington lays down three stipulations to ian Garry and his wife

Continuing, Colby Covington revealed that he’s more than willing to step inside the Octagon with Ian Garry — so long as ‘The Future’ and his “WAG” wife agree to three stipulations.

“Let me teach you the art of the deal, Ian,” Covington continued. “Let’s come to a compromise. If you can meet these three stipulations, we’ve got a fight. 1) You and that gold-digging wh*re have to turn your Instagram comments back on and if you turn them off before the fight, you forfeit. 2) We’ve heard you cry and beg on your knees, but we all know that you’re not the boss. Layla, you’ve got 60 seconds to convince me why this fight needs to happen. So put your husband in the corner, get on your hands and knees, and beg.”

Covington’s third stipulation would require Garry’s wife to pose with Colby Covington to announce MyBookie’s Pick of the Week. Obviously, nothing more than a way to work his sponsor into the video, but cleverly done, if we’re being honest.

Ian Garry is yet to book a return to the Octagon following his latest victory, but ‘The Future’ is living up to his moniker, winning seven straight fights under the UFC banner and extending his undefeated MMA run to 14-0 with noteworthy wins against Kenan Song, Daniel Rodriguez, and Neil Magny.

As for Colby Covington, the welterweight gatekeeper has gone 2-3 in his last five with all three losses coming in title fights. His lone victories over the last five years have come against Tyron Woodley and Jorge Masvidal — two fighters who exited the promotion following a four-fight losing skid.

Surging welterweight contender, Ian Garry has laid an eye-catching prediction for his sought after fight with former interim division gold holder, Colby Covington – vowing to “beat the mouth off” the outspoken veteran in front of ormer United States president, Donald Trump.

Garry, who made his Octagon return over the course of last weekend, turned in a dominant, albeit uneventful split decision win over Geoff Neal, improving the Dubliner to 14-0 as a professional to boot.

And off the back of his victory, Portmarnock native Garry has landed at number six in the official welterweight rankings.

Ian Garry targets Colby Covington grudge match

Shooting his shot for his next opponent, Garry firmly has his sights fixed on a fight with former interim champion, Covington – vowing to beat the Clovis native in front of former president, Trump if they share the Octagon.

“I’ll talk to him (Colby Covington) when I beat the f*ck out of him in the Octagon,” Ian Garry told MMA Fighting. “If (Donald) Trump’s in attendance, I will drag Colby in front of Trump, and I’ll beat the mouth off him, and I’ll say, ‘This is what you’ve created’. Boom. ‘This is MAGA.’ I’m like, ‘It’s not more. Get rid of him. Get him out of the UFC.’”

For Covington, the MMA Masters staple has been chasing a fight with former title chaser, Stephen Thompson since his most recent outing back in December – which saw him falter in a third attempt to become the undisputed champion, dropping a decision shutout loss to the incumbent, Leon Edwards.

Staking his claim for a potential Irish homecoming ever-since his eventual Octagon landing, Garry has since claimed that he may be too much of a “star” to make a return to Dublin, leading to outcry from fans to maintain the 26-year-old does not have ideas above his own station.

Does Ian Garry have what it takes to topple veteran, Colby Covington?

Jorge Masvidal rips Colby Covington for condemning UFC 296 loss on Donald Trump: ‘You’re blaming the greatest president’

Former UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal sounds off on bitter rival Colby Covington.

Once close friends and training partners, it now seems that Covington and Masvidal will never reconcile. Out with their fights, both in the cage and out, the two will often take jabs at one another in media appearances, often taking aim at personal topics.

And following his one-sided loss to Leon Edwards at UFC 296, Covington gave Jorge Masvidal even more ammunition after coming out with a whole.

Jorge Masvidal again aims at Colby Covington

When asked about Covington’s excuses, Masvidal would of course dig in, first slamming Covington for his lack of political knowledge.

“He doesn’t know anything about politics,” Masvidal began during an interview with BroBible. “He literally just attaches his name to Trump, hoping that Trump will one day tweet his name or maybe show up to a fight. But, the guy literally knows nothing about politics, knows nothing about immigration laws, knows nothing about 401ks, about foreign policies, domestic policies. He knows nothing.”

Masvidal would then go on an expletive-filled rant, accusing Covington of having a gambling issue and blasting him for using ‘the greatest president ever’ as an excuse.

“All this guy f*****g does is throw his money away gambling on poker and paying for prostitutes to be in his f*****g videos,” Masvidal said. “So, for him to go out there and involve Trump’s name so much and say, ‘The judges don’t like me because I roll with Trump and they robbed me because of Trump!’ You’re a f*****g piece of s**t.

“Now you’re blaming the f*****g greatest president this country has ever seen for your f*****g s***y ass loss. You didn’t do a damn thing, and everybody says, even your mom says you’re a f*****g bum. You’re going to blame that on Trump? Because you’re such a f*****g bum? you’re a piece of s— It just shows who he is, and of course now he has a ‘broken foot. The guy’s a f*****g cheating, lying, piece of s**t cop-calling mother***er. And I can’t wait to see his ass.”

Do you think Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington will ever put their beef behind them?
