Colby Covington has denied that he has received a contract offer to fight bitter rival Ian Machado Garry.

The former interim welterweight champion hasn't fought since this past December when he lost a one-sided decision to Leon Edwards.

While Covington awaits his next assignment, he says the UFC has not been in contact over a potential showdown with Garry.

'We all know that he's a cuck but now we know he's a liar,' Covington said on The Rush podcast. 'Because UFC, Hunter [Campbell], Dana [White], they haven't talked to me about this fight. This fight has not been presented. He's just lying. He's just trying to get clickbait and get people to talk about him.'

Covington recently sent a message to Garry that he will fight him if three stipulations are met by his wife, Layla.

Covington has made a name for himself with his trash talking, often receiving widespread criticism for his words and insults towards fellow fighters, including Garry.

Garry has challenged Covington to a match after the latter referenced the Irishman's wife, saying he wants the 36-year-old to retire from the UFC as he called out his rival after beating Geoff Neal at UFC 298.

It has been unclear whether the fight would happen, but it appeared to take a step in a positive direction this week when Garry called out Covington for a future welterweight bout.

Covington, in a video shared on his social media accounts, has now responded, targeting Garry's wife, Layla, once again.

'Greetings nerds and virgins,' he began, stood on a boat. 'It's America's champ, the people's champ, Donald Trump's favourtite fighter. We're in beautiful sunny south Florida.

'Most people, they work 60 years just to get a taste of the good life. This is what I live every day. We just shot 18 holes at Trump International West palm beach, now we're out here sailing on seven figures and salty nerd tears.'

He continued: 'Ian Garry, you translucent cuck, you wanted my attention, now you got it. Everybody knows why you want to fight me, Ian. I'm the biggest star in the division. It's big city, bright lights, and the most attention and eyes you are ever going to have on you when I fight.

'But everybody knows, Ian, you missed your chance. You had you chance in December to step on the same stage as me and have a microphone and say whatever you want to say to me, but you were scared. You were scared of what I was going to say to you, and you got the sniffles. And you cried you way out.'

After slamming Garry, Covington went onto reveal his stipulations, which included Layla appearing on one of his MyBookie adverts and declaring her support for 'America's Pick of the Week'.
