“Absolutely Smashes Him” – ‘Next Conor McGregor’ Ian Garry Takes the Mystic Mac Route as Colby Covington’s Return Against Leon Edwards Gets Confirmation From Dana White

Conor McGregor has earned his nickname rightfully so. Dubbed ‘Mystic Mac’, the former UFC Featherweight champion has predicted the outcomes of several fights with shocking accuracy. Following in his footsteps is fellow Irish UFC star, Ian Garry. During the recent press event, Ian was asked for his prediction of the highly anticipated matchup between Leon Edwards and Colby Covington. Interestingly nicknamed ‘The Future’, Garry delivered a no holds barred prediction of the future matchup.

He delivered a strong testament to one of the fighters in the match and predicted a breezy finish for his prospective winner. As Colby hopes to stay true to his name and wreak chaos against Leon Edwards, fans will gain insight from ‘The Future’s prediction. The former Interim UFC Welterweight Champion Colby will look to grab a major upset against Edwards, the current UFC Welterweight Champion. However, as ‘Rocky’ looks to defend his spot, Garry’s prediction comes to light.

The legacy of ‘Mystic Mac: Ian Machado Garry makes his bold prediction

A confident Garry declared, “I think Leon absolutely smashes him. Colby gets a lot of hype for nothing. The biggest thing Colby Covington has done is lose to Kamaru Usman twice. Twice. Leon has gone out and beaten Kamaru Usman. Twice“. ‘The Machado’ brimmed with confidence while delivering his analysis during the press event. Colby Covington’s two previous defeats form the backdrop of this clash. The defeats at the hands of the former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman somewhat overshadowed his achievements in Garry’s eyes.

In stark contrast, Leon Edwards has won the last two of the three bouts against ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’. These triumphs tip the scales largely in favor of ‘Rocky’ in Garry’s eyes. No doubt these victories as well as Garry’s recommendation, will serve as confidence boosters for Edwards ahead of his fight. The victories against the #8 pound-for-pound UFC fighter might just prove to be one of the stronger points of difference between the two fighters.

‘The Future’ backs up his predictions

Ian expanded further on why he backed Leon Edwards up so confidently. He stated, “Leon is gonna absolutely surgically… like just I think he’s gonna dominate him. I’ve trained with Leon. I know how good Leon is. Leon’s a phenomenal athlete. And he’s amazing in every single aspect of the game. His wrestling, his Jiu-Jitsu is so underrated because people talk about him as a kickboxer. I guarantee you he absolutely runs through Colby. I guarantee you”.
