The two men were involved in a spat during the press conference when Covington made some questionable remarks about Edward’s father. However, it wasn’t just Edwards that found himself in Covington’s crosshairs!

Ian Garry, who had to pull out from his fight against Vicente Luque at the event due to medical issues was also slammed by Covington. And in his trademark fashion, Covington held nothing back as he revealed that he had a “lesson” for the rising welterweight star!

Covington, supremely confident as always, responded by stating, “I was going to teach him a lesson you know, just like I taught Leon a lesson. You don’t cross the boss, he tried to cross the boss and call the shots and he couldn’t do it. The same lesson I’m gonna teach to Ian, you don’t make a h** a housewife.”

His controversial remarks during the press conference, targeting not only Edwards but also Ian Garry, showcased Covington’s willingness to stir the pot and get to the headlines.

Covington doesn’t want the judges to decide his fate against ‘Rocky’

Colby Covington, set to face Leon Edwards at UFC 296, is determined to avoid leaving the decision in the hands of judges, fueled by his dissatisfaction with past welterweight title defeats against Kamaru Usman.

In an interview with TNT sports, he revealed, “I feel like I need to go to a different level that I haven’t been to before and can’t let the judge or referee be in control of my own destiny. I need to create my own destiny.”

Covington emphasized his maturity since those losses, asserting he doesn’t view them as defeats and expressing a desire to settle the trilogy with Usman in the future. He also raised concerns about Edwards’ alleged in-octagon antics, claiming the Brit engages in rule-bending and cheating. Covington asserted he’s prepared for this and hopes to face the best version of Edwards on fight night.
