“Rocky” will defend his 170-pound strap against Covington in the main event of UFC 296 on Dec. 16. Garry, who will face Kill Cliff FC training partner Vicente Luque on the same card, is already plotting a future matchup against Covington, as he believes “Chaos” losing to Edwards is a certainty. Garry has been pushing to bring the UFC back to his hometown of Dublin, where the promotion hasn’t been since a Fight Night at the 3Arena in 2015. The undefeated Irishman is hoping to headline the potential card against Covington in front of home crowd and is confident of delivering a knockout.
“When he loses. I don’t see anyway he beats Leon,” Garry recently said in an interview with The Schmo. “Look, I’m planning a UFC Dublin card soon. So, if they wanna put me and Colby in the main event in UFC Dublin. Sign me up. I’m ready to go.
“If the UFC wanna do it, I’m ready to go. I’d sleep that guy in a heartbeat.”
