Colby Covington rips Ian Garry's wife at UFC 296 you don't make a hoe a housewife

Former interim welterweight champion, Colby Covington hit out at fellow division contender, Ian Garry from the get-go of his appearance at last night’s UFC 296 pre-fight press conference, accusing the Dubliner’s wife and manager, Layla Anna-Lee of infidelity. 

Covington, the current number three ranked welterweight contender and incoming title challenger, headlines UFC 296 this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada – taking on undisputed champion, Leon Edwards in a championship affair. 

As for Garry, the unbeaten number ten ranked division contender was initially scheduled to feature in a main card clash against training partner and perennial contender, Vicente Luque this weekend, however, a battle with pneumonia forced the Portmarnock striker from the main card clash.

And failing to appear during Wednesday’s media availability, prior to his withdrawal from the card, Garry was the subject of jibes at his personal life and relationship with Anna-Lee – whom serves as the former Cage Warriors champion’s manager. 

Colby Covington unleashes on Ian Garry’s wife

Hitting out at Garry in the early stages of last night’s press conference, Covington accused Anna-Lee of infidelity, questioning who in appearance at the presser had slept with the latter.

In between a hugely-critcized barb aimed at Edwards, in which Covington claimed the Brimingham native’s late father, who was shot and killed in a London nightclub when the champion was 13 years old, was residing in hell, the Clovis native issued another warning to Garry.

“I was going to teach him (Ian Garry) a lesson you know, just like I taught Leon (Edwards) a lesson,” Colby Covington explained. “You don’t cross the boss, he tried to cross the boss and call the shots and he couldn’t do it. The same lesson I’m gonna teach Ian, you don’t make a h*e a housewife.”

Undefeated welterweight contender, Ian Garry is officially out of his scheduled main card clash with Brazilian-American, Vicente Luque at UFC 296 this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the Portmarnock striker reportedly battling with pneumonia and flu like symptoms ahead of the event.

Garry, the current number ten ranked welterweight contender, was scheduled to make his fourth Octagon walk of the year at this weekend’s pay-per-view event in ‘Sin City’ – taking on Kill Cliff FC training partner, Luque in a high-stakes matchup at 170 pounds.

Skirting media day obligations last night at the UFC Apex facility, Garry was expected to attend tonight’s press conference ahead of the slated UFC 296 card on Saturday.

Ian Garry skips UFC 296 media day commitments amid public scrunity on personal life

Unbeaten welterweight contender, Ian Garry will not complete his fight week media obligations during today’s availability on media day according to his wife and manager, Layla Anna-Lee – amid rumors the Dublin striker will also choose to skip tomorrow’s slated pre-fight press conference.

Garry, the current number ten ranked welterweight contender, has been the subject of much scrutiny in the weeks ahead of his pivotal main card clash with Vicente Luque at UFC 296 this weekend, with fans and pundits questioning the 25-year-old’s relationship with the above-mentioned, Anna-Lee. 

Sidelined since he featured at UFC 292 back in August, Portmarnock native, Ian Garry improved to 13-0 at the flagship event in Boston, Massachusetts, defeating the division’s most winningest fighter, Neil Magny in a one-sided unanimous decision shutout win.

Ian Garry set to skirt today’s media day obligations

And vowing to turn recent attraction on his personal life into a positive at UFC 296 this weekend and land a devastating win over training partner, Luque, Garry – who was slated to attend today’s media availability as the first fighter on the bill, will skirt the commitments – however, intends to attend tomorrow’s pre-fight conference.

“I texted Ian Machado Garrys’ wife, Layla, to ask if it’s true he won’t be attending the #UFC296 media day,” Andy Stevenson posted on X. “Just received the below response: “True, Ian is not present for media day.” 

“A response re: tomorrow’s #UFC296 press conference,” Answer: “Ian has ever intention to be at press conference.” 

Ian Garry’s decision to avoid today’s media day availability for assembled press comes off the back of admissions from the Dubliner that he was “cautious about going to America” amid public opinion on his relationship with the above-mentioned, Anna-Lee.

The former Cage Warriors welterweight champion allegedly recently crossed paths with undisputed middleweight champion, Sean Strickland at the UFC Performance Institute in Nevada, with the latter later offering to settle their differences in an altercation.
