ANAHEIM, Calif. – Ian Machado Garry doesn’t want a title shot gifted to him. He wants to earn it step by step.
The next test after Saturday’s UFC 298, in Garry’s eyes, is clear. It’s Colby Covington, and Garry wants to inflict significant damage.
“I’m going to beat Colby Covington like we’ve never seen before,” Garry told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. “Then I want a top-three opponent, someone who is in that title contention, because the truth is, Colby’s biggest claim to fame is he’s fought for three world titles and he’s lost all three. He’s not as good as people think he is. You get beaten by a young, up-and-coming prospect, one of the best we’ve ever seen, the truth is you don’t come back from that.”
