Covington fired back at Garry in a fiery video on social media.
Colby Covington's response to Ian Garry wasn't funny at all. It's actually an compliment. Colby don't have anything bad to say about Ian Garry, so he makes fun of his wife. Same thing happened with Leon and Usman. pic.twitter.com/tQWml5POb1

“You’re asking for gimmicks you don’t even comprehend, junior. An ‘I Quit’ match implies there’s no disqualification and no time limit. No commission would ever approve that. And besides, we already saw you quit in December before the press conference. You want to talk about what I’m famous for and my title fights? The only thing you’re famous for is parading around a nutritionist’s sloppy seconds like she’s Miss Universe. She’s a 4 at best”
During an interview with Sky Sports, Garry revealed that he has changed the stipulations of his “I Quit” match and wants to make Covington quit in front of President Trump, who has attended several of Covington’s fights.

“I’m going to make Colby say that, that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna [be] pounding his face on the canvas, I’m going to point his face to Donald Trump and I’m going to be like ‘Say it, say it to your President. Don’t say it to me. Say it to him. I want him to look in your eyes when you say that.'”
Although a fight between Covington and Garry has yet to be booked, it seems inevitable that the two will fight soon.
