Ian Garry recently had an interview with The Schmo. In that interview, ‘The Future’ shared his prediction for Colby Covington vs. Jorge Masvidal.
Garry said, “I think Colby does. I think he’s, he’s brilliant. I think, obviously, he’s the second-best guy in the division other than Usman, and he’s brought it to Usman twice. So, I think Colby is going to take that and show why he is the number, the number two guy.”
Certainly, the former interim welterweight champion gave the champion a run for his money in the second fight. As a result, some fans believe Covington did enough to win the last three rounds. However, the three people who mattered the most chose Kamaru Usman as the triumphant.
