Ian Machado Garry fires back at Sean Strickland, reveals hit list for 2024 including Colby Covington
Ian Machado Garry has big plans for 2024.
Monday marked the start of a new year and as such, many people laid out their resolutions and goals for what they hope to achieve in 2024. Machado Garry was one such person, posting a video to his Instagram set to J. Cole’s MIDDLE CHILD with Machado Garry writing his own hit list for 2024, including Geoff Neal, Colby Covington, and one more name.
While Machado Garry does not write the surname to his final target for 2024, it’s not a huge leap to assume he is referring to Sean Strickland. Machado Garry and the UFC middleweight champion had a very public feud at the end of 2023 including a run-in with each other at the UFC Performance Institute.
After making his own post, Machado Garry also took aim at Strickland on Instagram, commenting on a post where the UFC middleweight champion addressed his recent brawl with Dricus du Plessis following insults he considered “off limits” regarding his childhood trauma.
“How the tables have turned,” Machado Garry wrote. “You dish it out in the lowest most vile manner but can’t take a pinch, you attacked my wife incessantly and obsessively calling her a [pedophile], it’s clear to see your childhood trauma showing.
“You claimed you were ‘giving me advice’ before, well now it’s my turn to return the favor, You should shut your mouth and focus on the mirror because you have enough serious issues you need to solve. I wish you all the best with them. Don’t ever project your pain onto me and [my] family again. Happy New Year.”
Machado Garry also feuded with Covington at the end of 2023 when Covington attacked his wife following UFC 296 and the drama that surrounded the Machado Garry-Strickland beef.
Machado Garry is currently scheduled to face Neal at UFC 298, which takes place Feb. 17 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. The event is set to be headlined by a featherweight title matchup between Alexander Volkanovski and Ilia Topuria.
