No. 7 in the UFC welterweight rankings, Irish fighter Ian Machado Garry spoke out about his possible fight against American Colby Covington.
Recall, earlier in an interview, Covington addressed his wife Garry, suggesting that she kneel before him and beg for a fight for her husband.
I want to fight him because of the following he has, the respect on his name as one of the best fighters in this division and has been for a long time. I want to fight him because of all the sh*t that he has talked about me and my family, and I'm going to make sure that he regrets every word he's said. My whole goal when I fight Colby Covington is that he never puts on MMA gloves ever again.
