Colby “Chaos” Covington, never one to shy away from controversy, has once again made headlines. This time, it’s about his fellow fighter, Ian Garry, and a potential matchup. In a recent interview, Covington didn’t hold back, calling out Garry’s credibility and expressing his thoughts on his next opponent.
Colby Covington Opens Up On Ian Garry
Covington minced no words when he accused Garry of being a liar. According to Colby Covington, the UFC brass—Dana White, Hunter Campbell, and company—haven’t approached him about a fight with Garry. In his own colorful language, Covington stated, “We all know that [Ian] is a cuck, but now we know he’s a liar.”
It’s not uncommon for fighters to engage in verbal sparring outside the cage, but this accusation takes it up a notch. Garry, a rising star with an undefeated record, had previously expressed interest in facing Colby Covington. However, if Covington’s claims are true, it seems Garry might have jumped the gun.
Colby Covington claims that Ian Garry is lying and says he hasn't been offered to fight him. He also mentions Belal Muhammad as a fighter he'd like to fight next.

Belal Muhammad: A Potential Rival
While Colby Covington awaits official word from the UFC, he’s eyeing another contender: Belal “Remember the Name” Muhammad. Muhammad has been vocal about wanting high-profile fights, and Covington sees this as an opportunity. In his own words, “I’m gonna let [the UFC] decide [my next opponent], but I don’t know, maybe this kid ‘Baley Muhammad’ who’s been talking a lot… I think if I beat that guy, it gets me right back to a title fight.”
Muhammad, known for his well-rounded skills and relentless pace, could provide an exciting challenge for Covington. If the fight materializes, fans can expect fireworks inside the Octagon.
As the MMA world eagerly awaits official announcements, one thing is certain: Colby Covington remains a lightning rod for attention. Whether it’s calling out opponents, criticizing fellow fighters, or stirring the pot, he keeps the spotlight firmly on himself.
