Ian Machado Garry wasn’t a profitable sufficient combat for Colby Covington.
Covington (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) and Garry traded barbs for weeks, and gave the impression to be on a collision course earlier than the combat fell aside. Covington hasn’t competed since a title loss to welterweight champion Leon Edwards at UFC 296 this previous December – a combat the place he broke his foot early.
Covington fully moved on from the thought of combating undefeated Garry (14-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC). The previous multiple-time title challenger responded to Daniel Cormier beforehand saying that he wants to acknowledge the state of affairs he’s in and combat Garry.
“I like Daniel Cormier, as properly – he’s a good friend of mine. However everyone is aware of he’s a media head now, so he’ll do something to get some clickbait,” Covington stated on SOSCAST w/ Adam Sosnick. “Who’s the best identify within the UFC to get some clickbait off of? Oh, trash Colby Covington – say some imply issues about him and you’ll get some sympathy from the followers and from the media individuals, as a result of all the persons are liberal leftists anyway. Daniel doesn’t know what he’s speaking about. He’s by no means been the A-side, so he doesn’t know what it’s wish to name his pictures and watch for the precise alternatives. The largest factor is I’ve acquired to get wholesome.
“I’m not going to hurry on the market on another person’s timeline. I’m by myself timeline. The UFC is aware of that. I’m already a celebrity and I’ve made a lot cash I don’t have to combat ever once more. It’s actually on my time, and I’ll combat once I’m able to combat and once I’m wholesome. I need huge fights. This child’s a no one. He simply acquired a break up determination over the Twelfth-ranked child. I’ve been combating world champion after world champion for the final seven years straight. So why does this child should combat me? He’s actually the B-side and thinks he calls the pictures and is the A-side. I’m going to get wholesome and I’m going to search for the most important and finest fights doable.”
