The bitter, long-standing feud between former college roommates Colby Covington and Jon Jones reached a boiling point following Gable Steveson’s shocking 12-second knockout loss to Sean Sharaf at UFC 331. Covington laid the blame squarely on Jones, claiming “Bones” infects those around him with toxic, “demonic energy.” Covington urged the Olympic wrestler to cut ties with Jones and Jackson-Wink, suggesting he train with a “real man” like Daniel Cormier instead.
Jones clapped back on social media, reminding Covington that it was Kamaru Usman—not him—who broke his jaw, while mocking Colby’s obsession with his success despite starting from the same dorm room. Unfazed, Covington doubled down with scathing personal jabs targeting Jones’ off-field legal and domestic troubles, proving that the bad blood between these two rivals remains as potent as ever.
