Rising welterweight Colby Covington tears into former roommate Jon Jones during an interview. The former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones sent out a tweet to George St Pierre before his fight with Michael Bisping at UFC 217.
Jones called GSP an inspiration and said that he is praying for the all-time great who went on to win the middleweight championship.
Many fans were surprised when Colby Covington attacked Jones in response to the tweet where he calls the 30-year-old a loser and biggest f**k up in the history of sports. Colby is referring to Jones’s multiple failed drug test, hit and run incident and cocaine use that has led to the former champion being stripped of his championship belts three times.
In an interview with Submission Radio, Covington reveals that he was Jon Jones’s roommate for about two years and claims he was outraged by Jon Jones “fake” behavior.
