Covington bashes Machado Garry

“Even Dana White himself said what he thought of the performance. He thought it was a draw. He didn’t think there should have been a winner. You know, I feel bad for the fans. The fans got robbed of, you know, a pay-per-view opener.

“That was pathetic. That guy is fighting the number 14 guy in the world and barely scraping by. I think he lost the fight. You know, I feel bad for the fans. They got robbed. But, it just shows how much of a bum he is. He came like, yeah, I wanna be on a Conor McGregor card, he was willing to do whatever he wants to be on the Conor McGregor card.

“He’s the Conor McGregor wannabe. He pulled all of these strings to get on the Conor McGregor card, and then Conor left him at the altar. So, I thought it was pretty funny, you know? I thought he was a ‘star’. I thought Ian Garry was a big name. What happened? They had their co-main events fall through like six or seven times. Why couldn’t he get bucked up to co-main event? I guess that shows us what UFC thinks about the guy. The guy is an absolute nobody, and he’s a bum. He has no reason to talk about anything. He keeps talking about this GOAT stuff. The only GOAT that he has is his wife, and she’s the throat GOAT, if you know what I mean.”
