Unbeaten Dubliner Garry was arranged to eliminate rising welterweight competitor Buckley next month however it was validated recently that he was being eliminated from the battle and rather positioned into a leading competitor match with fellow unbeaten 170-pounder Shavkat Rakhmonov as the UFC rushed to source a replacement for the Kazakh’s initial challenger at UFC 310 in Las Vegas, champ Belal Muhammad who withdrew from the battle mentioning a foot grievance.
Rather of Garry, it was validated that Buckley will combat Colby Covington who will make his go back to the cage for the very first time given that he was beat last December by then-champ Leon Edwards– and provided Garry’s dogged pursuit of a bout of his own with Covington which eventually came to absolutely nothing (up until now, a minimum of), the Irishman has actually explained that he hopes Buckley gets his hand raised when they satisfy in the Octagon in a couple of weeks’ time.
“Joaquin Buckley, I lag you 100 percent of the method,” Garry kept in mind in a post to Instagram. “Go out and put that male to sleep. Please and thank you. Do it for me since he’s unable to do it versus me.”
And talking to MMA press reporter James Lynch through MiddleEasy, Buckley sent his appreciation to Garry for his assistance.
“The only individual that screamed out was Ian Garry,” Buckley stated. “And I concur with him and his disappointment … I seized the day once the battle was offered to me. You can’t talk insane and you can’t talk negligent and disappoint up for the important things that you state [you will]
“For Colby to be out here, despite if we understand it’s an act or not, you got ta spend for the words that you state. And I actually think with Colby Covington, he must have took this battle with Ian Garry when I think it was used however he never ever did.
“Ian Garry certainly provided me a shout out to actually go an knock Colby Covington out and we’ll see each other later on. Yell out to Ian Garry for that.”
