Irish UFC welterweight fighter Ian Machado Garry named his dream opponent on the MMA Hour show:
I want Colby Covington, oh my god! The only thing that annoys me about that is that I would have more fun doing that in Miami. Walk into Miami and slap the mouth off him in front of all his fans. I have no problem going out there and being the bad guy for the weekend because at the end of the day when I put him unconscious, I’ll have a smile on my face.
Garry, 25, last fought at UFC 292 in August 2023, defeating Neil Magny by unanimous decision. He has 13 wins and no losses under his belt.
Covington, 35, last stepped into the octagon in March 2022 at UFC 272, defeating Jorge Masvidal by unanimous decision. He has 17 wins and three losses on his record.
