Colby Covington has exposed Ian Garry for lying about a potential fight. In a title fight, Covington was last seen inside the octagon against Leon Edwards.
After suffering a loss on the night, rumors started to circulate about his next fight. Most recently, rising welterweight star Ian Garry has been quite vocal about fighting Covington.
Moreover, he has even claimed that Colby Covington declined an offer to fight him. Responding, Covington exposed Garry for lying and spoke about his next fight. He said:
“We all know that [Ian] is a cuck, but now we know he’s a liar. Because the UFC, Dana, Hunter, they haven’t talked to me about this fight… he’s just lying, he’s just trying to get clickbait…”
He added:
“I’m gonna let [the UFC] decide [my next opponent], but I don’t know, maybe this kid “Baley Muhammad” who’s been talking a lot… I think if I beat that guy it gets me right back to a title fight.”

Colby Covington reveals he wanted to fight Khamzat Chimaev
Colby Covington has opened up about wanting to fight against Khamzat Chimaev. Over the past year, there was a bit of rumors surrounding a potential fight between him and Khamzat Chimaev.
However, the fight never happened and Khamzat Chimaev ended up moving to the middleweight division. Addressing the speculations, Covington confirmed that he wanted to fight the latter at welterweight.
While further stating that Chimaev does not have good cardio and could not last five rounds, Covington stated:
“In a five round fight I would be super intrigued by that [Khamzat] fight. I always told them I want this guy in a main event, I don’t think he can last. His cardio doesn’t look that good. His last fight he fought [Kamaru] Usman at 185 on one weeks notice and I thought Usman won the fight…”
That said, it remains to be seen if they can lock horns in the future.
