I'm fairly certain that they offered Usman the same fight, he obviously said no. Usman's been ducking Shavkat for years. Everyone else above him most definitely denied it too. This guy is willing to take opportunities to try and become champ. Gotta respect that.

[@dr.evil2some847]

Who else was he Ian going to fight? And how was or is Usman ducking Shavkat just bcuz he didn't fight him? There's more guys than Shavkat Usman hasn't fought, and there's more guys than Usman that Shavkat hasn't fought... Not sure why Usman has to b the bad guy there, but I guess if that's the way u see it... Maybe u just don't like Usman..? Ian however has trained with Shavkat and doesn't have the same fear of not knowing that other fighters might find off putting about him. So that kind of negates Ian of the courage he's being rewarded for if he has trained with the guy and fully expects he's going to win, or at least confident enough to sign the paper, then wat are we talking about..? Participation trophies? Sounds right coming from an Ian Gary fan... Haven't seen u guys around so that basically makes u pioneers... Setting the bar pretty low out of the gate tho, not a good look for... "The future"... Lol

I gotta admit, it's a HORRIBLE look for Colby right now. Not just avoiding Ian, but calling out all these big name guys, talking about all these huge fights he wants, and ends up fighting Buckley on a Fight Night card. That's gotta hurt for a guy like that who tries so hard to create a certain image

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

Father time catching up to him, man, but I still give Covington so much damn respect. He was about to get fired then he made a genius move. He has made millions of dollars he only lost to champions. He held an interim belt. Nothing but respect to Covington, but I believe if he beats Buckley, which I believe he will then Covington will get the winner of this one. But the thing is Covington is not getting any younger so I don’t know. I still think he had a mental breakdown fighting in front of Trump and he was just so afraid of getting knocked out. That knockout against Usman with Leon really affected Covington mentally because he knows the war he had with Usman twice.

[@shaunkeating9288]

I never understood the hate against this man because of issues outside of fighting in his personal life. Say what you want, but most.of your favorite fighters aren't willing to take fights against just anybody, when this man is and that command BIG respect. He's taken the short notice with Shav and says he'll go up to fight Khamzat.....you haven't heard ANYBODY say something like that and if they did than I forgot, but I don't think so. Not only all that, but he's doing this with while being laughed at with immense online hate........the man is mentally strong and that's a W in my book💪🏼.

If usman was so scared of a challenge why did he choose to fight chimaev. If there was any fight to duck, it was that one. I would argue that chimaev is a harder fight than Ian would be. I think he decided against the fight because he’s looking for fights that will get him an immediate title shot if he won. Ian is good but If I’m usman, I can see how fighting Ian wouldn’t do much for him. That being said, I hope Ian wins because I like his style and confidence.
