UFC welterweight, Ian Machado Garry, also has his eyes set on a potential fight with Colby Covington.
While Machado Garry has been campaigning for a fight with Stephen Thompson, it seems that Thompson wants to pursue another match up. So with Garry having to settle for another name, when asked on who the ideal matchup would be for a rumoured return to Dublin, he named Covington.
“I want Colby Covington, oh my god! At home,” Ian Machado Garry said on the MMA Hour. “The only thing that annoys me about that is that I would have more fun doing that in Miami.
“In his back garden, walk into Miami and slap the mouth off him in front of all his fans, I have no problem playing the heel. I have no problem going out there and being the bad guy for the weekend because at the end of the day when i put him unconscious, I’ll have a smile on my face.”
