Ian Garry’s Dream Scenario: Defeat Rakhmonov, Covington in Consecutive Weeks

Ian Garry continues to hold a grudge against Colby Covington.

Garry will take on Shavkat Rakhmonov in a potential title eliminator in the co-main event at UFC 310 on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Covington will headline a UFC Fight Night opposite rising contender Joaquin Buckley at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, on Dec. 14.

Garry’s feud with Covington started with “Chaos” taking unprovoked digs at the Irishman and his wife earlier this year. While Garry has since been calling Covington out, the former interim champ accepted a booking against Buckley after “The Future” was matched up with Rakhmonov. Garry has previously urged Buckley to knock Covington out, which he believes “New Mansa” is perfectly capable of doing. However, in an even more ideal scenario, Garry would love to make quick work of “Nomad” at UFC 310 and take on Covington at UFC Tampa the following week.


“I think Buckley starches him,” Garry told Ariel Helwani. “But you know what I would love?... I go out there Dec. 7 and I take out Shavkat early. I come out of there unscathed, uninjured. I get on the mic and I sit down and say, ‘Hey, I could wait until next year when Belal Muhammad’s back, or Dana, Hunter, UFC, I could walk my ass all the way down to Florida and I could beat the bollocks out of Colby Covington for 25 minutes and I can prove how good I am next week.’ Because that man talks a lot but he’s not willing to back it up… I would love to beat Shavkat and the following week fight as the main event in Tampa. And bury Colby Covington and leave him dead and done in that Octagon, never to be seen again.”

Ian Garry says he wants to beat Shavkat Rakhmonov “early” at #UFC310, and fight Colby Covington a week later at #UFCTampa

Outside of that hypothetical scenario, Garry is expecting a title shot with a potential win over his Kazakh opponent. “The Future” then wants to move up to middleweight and challenge Khamzat Chimaev, who he thinks will be holding the title in the future.

“My ideal scenario is like, I beat Shavkat, win the world title. I go up to middleweight and I fight Khamzat and I win that belt, too,” Garry said. “I am not afraid of any man. I know how talented I am.”

Ian Garry states his ideal scenario of becoming double champion:

“I fight and beat Shavkat, I win the world title, I go up to middleweight and I fight Khamzat and I win that belt too.

I’m not afraid of any man.”

I'm impressed as hell with Ian for accepting the fight with shavkat. They're sparring partners too which makes it even more surprising.

 

[Cheese_&_mma_lover]

I think Ian Garry will shock the world, gonna take that man's 0. His confidence right now gives me Connor vs Aldo vibes. This type of energy is so rare.

This fight won't be competitive. Ian Garry by brutal KO early

 

[AmonTobin]

If he finishes Shavkat that would be an instant and massive glow up for his career. A “meteoric rise” as Goldberg might’ve said. A win like this would back up the boastful talk and cocky persona he’s been going for. Walking the walk after talking all the talk.

Conor was in Aldo's head big time. Garry isn't in Shavkat's head even a little bit.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Doesn't bode well when you promise in your call out you won't finish the guy and will instead take the entire 25 minutes to win on the cards.

Also doesn't bode well to be fantasizing like this when you have possibly the hardest fight in the division in front of you.

Conor was in Aldo's head big time. Garry isn't in Shavkat's head even a little bit.

Yea that comparison makes literally 0 sense lol.

I was going in this direction until I realized Garry has an ankle ring tattoo. I just can’t support that.

 

[stronghulk]

He's not afraid of no man but his wife called him a pussy for not fighting Khamzat in an elevator.

 

[HP_Nut]

Damn, Ian is leaking the script. Hes already letting us know that the writers have decided Khamzat will become MW champ

 

[188912345]

Oh please, not another Colby titleshot!

@helax @Jackonfire

I somehow missed that.
What was the reason for this beef?
Magny seems to be a respectable guy.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Oh I thought it was defeat Shavkat, while Colby defeats his wife.

But hey I’m not here to yuck his yum.

 

[Luthien]

Truly a dream

Okay and if you're wrong, will you eat crow or will you just move goalposts?

This is Sherdog so I imagine you'll probably try to delete this post and pretend it never happened

 

[World eater]

Sometimes people look past a “weak” opponent and it ends up biting them in the ass. But looking past Shavkat and fantasizing about Khamzat is next level. Big balls, but questionable wisdom.

 

[RemyR]

Ian's a fucking weird dude but he's legit as they come. I think his fight with Shavkat can go either way. And tbh as weird as I find him I'd love for him to beat down Colby.

 

[pātrēärkē]

Magny said he was going to put a father like beating on him or something like that. The overly sensitive cuck assumed that means Neil beats his kids and somehow that's Garry's business. He's insufferable and I would love to see Colby rag doll him after Shav humiliates him

 

[Last Falconry]

it's not even worth anything to beat colby anymore. well, personal satisfaction, I guess. but nothing else really
