Ian Machado Garry to Colby Covington – “I challenge you to an ‘I Quit’ match”
Ian Machado Garry (14-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) has responded to Colby Covington (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) and his antics by challenging him to a WWE style ‘I Quit’ match.
Garry, fed up with Covington and his trash talk, issued a challenge via video to the former UFC welterweight title contender.
Covington has slandered both Garry and his wife Layla in interviews and on social media, prompting the undefeated mixed martial artist to respond.
“Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington, you’re in no position to tell me what I should be doing in life,” Garry said in a video on Instagram. “You’ll do as you’re told. You gave me three stipulations – all of which have nothing to do about fighting. They were all talking about my wife. I don’t know how you were raised but women aren’t property and my wife definitely ain’t no trophy. You should be focusing on me. I’m the one who is in that Octagon with you. I’m the one who’s going to punch a hole in your head. So stop swerving me and keep Layla’s name out your mouth. You’re not America’s favorite fighter. What you are is a peak under-performer. You’re the only person in UFC history to lose three world title fights, and you haven’t got a single win against anybody in the top 15 right now.
“So Colby, why should I fight you? I can think of one reason,” Garry said. “I challenge you to an ‘I Quit’ match, where one of us has to say, ‘I quit.’ And whoever says the words, ‘I quit,’ has to retire, gloves off, center of the Octagon. Sayonara, my friend. I’m going to be the final chapter in your legacy of failure. I am going to rid the UFC of Colby Covington for good and I’m going to make MMA great again.”
