Ian Garry has called out the UFC, saying he wants to be co-main event for UFC 303, the card headlined by Conor McGregor.

Dana White recently confirmed McGregor would return to the octagon against Michael Chandler on June 29 and Garry wants to be on that undercard.

The Portmarnock man has had a sensational in the UFC and recently improved his professional MMA record to 14-0 after beating Geoff Neal.

And Garry has made it no secret that he wants to fight Colby Covington in the co-main event of UFC 303.

But news broke earlier on Wednesday that Jamahal Hill will take on Khalil Rountree in what is suspected to be co-main event.

Dubliner Garry took exception to the news, saying: "I think you mean “Featured bout”"

And the 26-year-old then took to social media to pile pressure on the UFC to install him into the co-main slot.

He said: "When I read the news and see something ain’t right - I’ll be co-main mark my words #UFC303 @ufc"

Garry has previously vowed to retire Colby Covington.

Speaking to Genting Casino, he said: "I've made it very clear I want Colby next, he does not have any other options. It's the biggest fight he can have, it's the biggest fight I can have right now, so let's do it, let's put on a show, let me wipe the floor with him and I'll retire him for good.

"It seems like the UFC wants it, it seems like it's going in the right direction, so let's hope he signs the contract. I have agreed to fight Colby but at the moment Colby has not agreed, nor signed the contract.

"I think Colby will sign, at the moment he's playing a little game, he's coming off three world title fight losses, he's playing the game of 'why do I need to fight this prospect?' but he needs to understand - you win you look up, you lose you look down. "

Covington has fought for the title in three of his last five bouts, winning none of them and Garry says he will retire the American.

"I will wipe the floor with Colby, I will retire him, I'm on a different level; I'm too fast, too technical, and too good for him. "
