Ian Garry names Colby Covington as a dream opponent
Ian Garry has been open about his disdain for Colby Covington, recently naming him as one of his dream opponents.
During his appearance on The MMA Hour, 'The Future' shared his thoughts on a potential bout against 'Chaos'. He mentioned that he would be confident in his chances, willing to be the villain and fight him in Miami, saying:
"Walk into Miami, slap the mouth off him in front of all of his fans. I have no problem playing the heel, I have no problem going out there and being the bad guy for a weekend. At the end of the day, when I put him unconscious, I'm going to have a smile on my face."
