The MMA world is no stranger to heated rivalries and trash talk, but sometimes, a feud transcends the usual pre-fight banter. The ongoing drama between welterweight fighters Ian Machado Garry and Colby Covington, a clash that’s been simmering for months now, involves an unexpected twist with Joaquin Buckley.
With UFC on ESPN 63 approaching, Garry has thrown his full support behind Joaquin Buckley in his main event fight against Covington. But this isn’t just a casual endorsement, Garry wants blood. He publicly called for Buckley to knock out Covington.
