Media Ian Garry fires back at Colby Covington, challenges him for “retirement” fight

10-8 Garry

Also, who had the better callout-video?

Colby's callout was garbage

 

[Nabs]

He sure didn't in his last fight. Garry landed more strikes in 3 rounds than Colby did in 5.

He sure didn't! I literally was going to mention that in my original post but just didn't bother. To be fair though, that was an anomaly for Colby fights.

 

[Nabs]

I take it you missed the Leon fight?

Nope. Colby didn't do shit, but let's not act like it wasn't an anomaly.

Ian actually cut a decent promo. Colby was just being obnoxious.

 

[mkt]

Ian's got the perfect tall, skinny, toothpick-legged body for a wrestler to 30-27 or 50-45...even if Colby is a few years past his prime. I think Colby takes this if he trains seriously and doesn't play around too much on his feet.

Imagine how easy of a fight Ian would've been for prime GSP circa 2009 or so.

Decent test, cause Ian has zero chance against Shavkat if he can't get past an old Colby.

Never has there been a fight in MMA history where I wanted a double knock-out to occur as badly as in this potential fight

Maybe we'll see the first meteorite hit the Octagon.

Good stuff. Love the montage of Colby coming up short in title shots hahaha.

Cuckchado starting to grow on me lol.

 

[SuperNerd]

Colby is done and is collecting checks.

Please dont book this guy in anything relevant.

Agreed, but whomever wins, they gain fans.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Why is Colby calling out Ian? He's not in his 40s or a lower weightclass...

 

[CasualBot]

Don't get how is this a retirement fight?

I dunno Sherbro, Ian Garry is four inches taller and ten years younger than Colby Covington, not to mention much, much faster. If Colby can't immediately get a takedown he is in serious trouble, and Garry's footwork and TDD are both very good.

Would either actually retire if they lose though? Especially Ian…

Still think Colby should fight Conor as well…

UFC never books Colby vs Conor. He would make a Conor fight 100% horrible and boring.

10-8 Garry

Nah colby was lame against Leon and I thought the promo was kinda dumb but at least he's original and not saying the same stuff Conor already has.

Colby? Original? Knock it off.

Colby? Original? Knock it off.

Ok so what line did he say here that another fighter has said?

 

[Paynebringer]

<{dayum}> Ian did it better I much prefer this "I Quit Match" than Colby's ridiculous 3 requirements bullsh!t not based on fighting demands. Ian making me like him.

I wouldn’t say calling Ian Garry a cuck is all that original
