Colby Covington tears into Ian Garry, says Bo Nickal’s ‘mystique’ is gone

Colby Covington took shots at Ian Garry and Bo Nickal in a recent interview.

Covington offered harsh assessments of Garry and Nickal while speaking to Submission Radio. The former Ultimate Fighting Championship interim titleholder addressed Garry’s unsuccessful title bid against Islam Makhachev and Nickal’s recent wrestling defeat under the Real American Freestyle banner.

When asked about Garry's defeat at UFC 330, Covington took the opportunity to poke fun at the Irishman, referencing the controversy and online discourse surrounding his marriage.

“I don't know. I didn't really pay attention, so I didn't really care about it,” Covington told Submission Radio. “But the one thing fitting that I did see is now, you know, the wife got to sit in a corner and watch him get dogged out for once. So, at least the roles got reversed for once. You know, the world got to see that he was exposed as a cuck.”

Covington was also asked whether he would consider taking on Garry in a wrestling or submission grappling match.

“I don't know if I want to roll around with this guy,” Covington added.

Covington then took aim at Nickal, discussing the latter’s decision loss to Max McEnelly at RAF 12. “Chaos” claims the aura surrounding Nickal has dissipated and he’s no longer interested in taking on the UFC middleweight in a wrestling match.

“He talked a big game, but look what happens every time he's on the world stage,” Covington said. “He comes up short. He's not undefeated. The mystique, the scary guy that they tried to build up to be this killer, you know, it's not there anymore.”
