Ian Garry cannot seem to get some of the top names to face him in the octagon. In his latest interview, Garry listed out a bunch of fighters including Colby Covington, Michael Page, and others who allegedly turned down a fight offer against him.
Ian Garry recently sat down for a conversation with talkSPORT. During their discussion, Garry talked about his next potential fight and the list of fighters he agreed to take on in the octagon.
I feel like I’ve gone through about eight or nine names… They’ve offered me Colby, I’ve said ‘yes’ to ‘MVP’, I have said ‘yes’ to Sean Brady… I’ve said ‘yes’ to Joaquin Buckley. I’ve said ‘yes’ to every single person that has come my way. That is what I do.

Ian Garry and Colby Covington had a heated back-and-forth in the past few months. Garry had been pushing for a throwdown with Covington after he publicly disrespected his wife and his family. Although the feud was going strong, Covington suddenly retraced from his statement. He recently declared that he is only interested in legacy matchups now and called out Belal Muhammad and Charles Oliveira.
Ian Garry reveals that the UFC has offered him fights against Colby Covington, Sean Brady, Michael ‘Venom’ Page, Joaquin Buckley and Nursulton Ruziboev.
He says he’s agreed to all of them, but none of them have agreed yet.
