Jones-Obsessed Covington Directing ‘Deep Hatred … At The Wrong Black Guy’
There is no love lost between former college roomies Jon Jones and Colby Covington. Ever since Covington starting talking wild s—t in public constantly, “Bones” has been a consistent source of inspiration for his trash talk. Any Jones controversy guarantees a Covington comment, as “Chaos” will stop at nothing to ensure everybody in the world […]
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MARCH 12: Former college roommates Jon Jones and Colby Covington have a history of trash talk, with Covington frequently criticizing Jones for his actions and persona. Despite the longstanding rivalry, a recent development has seen Covington directing his "deep hatred" at the wrong individual. Recently, Covington criticized Jones' involvement with Gable Steveson, claiming Jones' negative energy contributed to Steveson's loss to Covington.
Jones, however, responded on social media, accusing Covington of having a "blind obsession" with him and pointing out his own success and achievements. In a post featuring a picture of Covington's broken jaw from his fight against Kamaru Usman, Jones suggested that Covington's hatred was misdirected and should be aimed at Usman instead.
Despite the ongoing tension, a physical confrontation between the two fighters seems unlikely, given the significant size difference and the absence of any reported street altercation.
