I’ll post the source when I find it but..

Ian Machado Garry recently talked about his desire to take on Colby Covington in a short turnover after fighting (and beating) Shavkat Rakhmonov.

As a fan, do you have any desire to see this fight happen? Was Ian serious about that or just spinning a yarn?
 
Garry vs Colby is the logical fight because of their grudge

Leon and Usman should fight Jack and Sean

That's the only fights to make respecting rankings and momentums of each fighter
 
Got to see what happens when Covington and Buckley fight this week
 
Well Colby is fighting on Saturday. I fully expect him (or hope rather) to get ktfo.
 
Ian Garry smokes Colby easily now, and Colby and his fans already know that.

Or, that fanbase really is dumber than they look.
 
I would have liked to see him fight Leon in March but he shut that down quick.

So probably Colby but only if he wins against Buckley.

Ian Garry vs Colby Covington

Kamaru Usman vs Sean Brady

Leon Edwards vs Jack Della Maddalena
 
Ian would pick Colby and Usman apart...He ain't easy to takedown either and Usman has a lot of injuries and not explosive anymore... Colby isn't the fighter he once was...
 
It is so obviously the fight to make IMO.
Only if he gets past Buckley.

If he loses that he's very likely done and I don't see him continuing on in MMA.

If he beats Buckley then they absolutely need to make that fight with Garry though for sure.
 
If Colby beats Buckley, he'll be clamoring for a TS. No way he takes a fight with Garry off a win.

Usman turned down Shavvy. No way he gets rewarded coming off 2 losses with a guy whose stock is at an all time high despite losing.

Leon is the logical choice.
