The former interim champ said the UFC had not presented him with that fight offer yet. Moreover, Covington called Garry a liar for spreading false rumors in an attempt to remain relevant.
We all know that he’s a cuck, but now we know he’s a liar. UFC, Hunter (Campbell), Dana (White), they haven’t talked to me about this fight. This fight has not been presented. He’s just lying and he’s trying to get clickbait and people to talk about him.

In a fiery interview, Garry launched an expletive-filled rant directed squarely at Covington. He demanded Covington to accept the fight. The Irish fighter showcased his confidence and said he would absolutely demolish Covingtomn in the fight.
If Colby signs that contract [to fight me], I’m gonna walk out with my knee up going. Take the f****** thing and let’s see what happens… I promise you now. There’s no doubt in my mind I will rag doll him.

Garry doubted that Covington would sign the contract to make the grudge match official. The undefeated 26-year-old felt Covington was merely using him to stay relevant after his title fight loss to Leon Edwards last year. Garry had recently revealed his preference to fight Covington at UFC 303 on June 29th in Las Vegas. UFC 303 features Conor McGregor‘s highly anticipated return against Michael Chandler. As such, Covington vs. Garry in the main card would make it a must-watch PPV card of the year.
