In the video posted by Ian Garry on his Instagram account, He stated, “What’s up everyone? It’s Tuesday, the ninth of April, at 10 past one, and I just want to let everyone know I have agreed to fight with Colby Covington. There is a date in place. Colby still hasn’t signed the contract.”
The young Irishman seems quite impatient to fight the former UFC interim champ. And it’s not surprising given how the American had attacked Garry’s wife in the past.

During the press conference of UFC 296, Colby Covington took some shots at UFC welterweight prospect, Ian Garry despite the Irishman not being in attendance. Covington’s comments at the press conference seem to have been what triggered it.
During the press conference, Covington said, “I was going to teach him a lesson, you know, just like I taught Leon a lesson. You don’t cross the boss, he tried to cross the boss and call the shots, and he couldn’t do it. The same lesson I’m gonna teach to Ian, you don’t make a h** a housewife.”
