It’s been a busy week over at the UFC Headquarters. The action has been brimming and now, it is all about to erupt at UFC 292. There are some really great bouts scheduled for the fight fans on this fight card, so make sure you are staying up-to-date with all that is happening. In case you aren’t aware, let us help you up to speed.

First, we shall be talking about UFC Welterweight fighter Colby Covington hurling accusations the way of Jon Jones, claiming that he has expressed disapproval with respect to sharing the same fight card as Covington. Then, we shall talk about the return of Middleweight fighter Chris Weidman after 2 long years, only to be disappointed with the bout placement. Finally, we shall address the UFC 292 press conference exchange between Ian Garry and Neil Magny where the Irishman used a rather familiar quote to diss his opponent.

Skeletons in the closet? Is Jon Jones really scared to share the same fight card as Colby Covington?

UFC Welterweight title contender Colby Covington seems to be unsure of where Jon Jones’ loyalty lies. He has questioned Jones’ ability to keep his head about himself and doubts that he might actually not end up in the Octagon that night, given his history. Covington, who is a former roommate of Jon Jones, is convinced that the UFC wants Colby Covington vs. Leon Edwards as a backup fight card that night because Jon Jones has a history of troubles outside the ring. However, he didn’t stop there.

The Welterweight fighter said that sources have told him that Jones has met with the top brass over at the UFC headquarters and has refused to be a part of the fight card in case Covington was on it.

Preliminary Card Not Good Enough for Chris Weidman after he ‘put his body on the line’

UFC Middleweight fighter Chris Weidman was doing really well for himself until he limped home in excruciating pain from a horrendous leg injury, that he suffered during his fight against Uriah Hall. Two long years later, Weidman is looking to make his return to the UFC and was expecting a great welcome from the promotion and his fans. However, he seemed disappointed with the way things were lining up for him.

Weidman, who is used to headlining fight cards and being in main events, was disappointed to learn that his return fight against Brad Tavares would be a part of the preliminary bouts. “It’s kind of disrespectful, to be honest.“, he said, before proceeding to talk about how he put his body on the line for the UFC and how he felt the UFC didn’t respect that.

“What, do you think I’m done? Do you think I’m here to just see how I feel? No. I’m here to make a statement.“, added Weidman, determined to prove everyone wrong. Tavares, on the other hand, has been empathetic about Weidman’s injury but has been crystal clear about the fact that he has no plans of holding back.

Ian Garry slams UFC 292 opponent Conor McGregor Style

Ian Garry is scheduled to fight Neil Magny at UFC 292, which is scheduled to be held on 20 August. Magny made questionable comments about Ian Garry in a press conference that riled up Garry. The Irishman is not one to let it slide and made sure he got him back the following day at the press conference.

The two were seen in a heated exchange, and an agitated Garry was adamant about not letting Magny speak throughout the press conference. Magny’s questionable comments were answered by Garry’s reply, which sounded similar to one of the most famous lines from fellow countryman and former UFC Lightweight champ, Conor McGregor. “He should sit there and f****** sit down and shut up, and just reflect on what he said.“, the Irishman had commented at one point.

The comments made by both fighters during the press conference were personal and Magny warned Garry about dragging his kids into the mix. Although allegations were made and things were starting to get heated up, there were no physical altercations between the two.

It’s safe to say that there is a lot going on, leading up to UFC 292. The fight card promises to be an entertaining night for the fans. Will Covington have his way? Or will Jones have to let this one slide? Does Weidman have it in him to bounce back from a severe injury and win his first return fight? Will Ian Garry carry on the work done by his senior, Conor McGregor? Stay tuned to find out.
