Undefeated welterweight sensation Ian Garry is ready to elevate himself from top prospect to No. 1 contender, and \u201cThe Future\u201d knows the fastest way to accomplish that goal is by taking out two-time title challenger Colby Covington, currently ranked three spots above Garry at No. 4 in the 170-pound weight class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if it means a plane ride to Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLook, if Colby wants to fight in his back garden tomorrow, I will fly to Miami and fight him in his back garden,\u201d Garry told MMA Fighting. \u201cI don\u2019t care when it is. I just want him as the opponent. I want him to be a man and step into the Octagon and face his fears. Face the man who he\u2019s talked a lot of s*** about, and watch what happens when you get in there. God will be good. He will give me Colby Covington whenever, wherever I want him, and he will say, \u2018Ian, have fun.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Covington and Garry have spent the last few months trading insults on social media, though it\u2019s unclear if the promotion has plans to pair them off in the immediate future. \u201cChaos\u201d is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Leon Edwards at UFC 296 while \u201cThe Future\u201d is not far removed from his judges\u2019 nod over Geoff Neal at UFC 298.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want to fight him because of the following he has, the respect on his name as one of the better fighters in this division and has been for a long time,\u201d Garry continued. \u201cI want to fight him because of all the s*** that he has talked about me and my family, and I\u2019m going to make sure that he regrets every word he\u2019s said. But I also know that even if it was the best Colby Covington we ever seen, he would never stand a chance against me. No matter how good Colby Covington ever could be or would be, he would never be able to beat me. I\u2019m too elite. I\u2019m too fast. I\u2019m too technically brilliant. He just doesn\u2019t stand a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
