Claiming a fight with unbeaten Dubliner, Ian Garry has now come and gone amid months of call outs, former interim welterweight champion, Colby Covington has staked his claim for a fight with UFC star, Charles Oliveira – again poking fun at the Sao Paulo native’s home soil.
Covington, the current number four ranked division challenger, has been out of action since he headlined uFC 296 back in December of last year, suffering a one-sided unanimous decision defeat to incumbent gold holder, Leon Edwards in the pair’s title grudge fight.
As for Brazilian favorite, Oliveira, the former lightweight kingpin featured on the main card of UFC 300 just last month, suffering a close, contentious split decision loss to Arman Tsarukyan in the pair’s title-eliminator at 155lbs.
