Jeffery Epstein, Colby Covington, Jon Jones (image credit- NPR, CBS Sports, Heavy)
In his recent interview with Michael Bisping, Colby Covington discussed his next fight with Leon Edwards and fired shots at Jon Jones. The welterweight champion has been dodging Convington for quite some time now. Colby stated that at this rate, the champion would have to give up the belt or face him, and Edwards cannot keep making excuses to avoid the inevitable.
Colby Covington and Jon Jones have had a beef between them for years, in which Colby brings details about their past into the picture. The two UFC superstars have been acquainted with each other for years because they shared a room during college. In his most recent comment about Jones, he said, “Was Jon Jones on the client list of Epstein’s Island? There is no way to confirm he wasn’t on it. So, I just want to know the truth! Was Jon Jones on Jeffrey Epstein’s Island?” These are some serious allegations that Covington made about the UFC heavyweight champion.
In addition to this, he made another hilarious comparison between Joe Biden and Jon Jones about sniffing white girls. Colby uses trash talk to play mental games with his rivals. Over the years, he made several comments about Jones, possibly to get a solid reaction from him. In the past, Colby has also expressed his desire to rekindle their friendship if Jones were up for it.
Jon Jones never reacted to these comments, but when he did, he dismissed them by calling Colby a pathological liar. Jones claimed that Colby exaggerated each detail from their time at Iowa Central Community College. Knowing the personality of Covington, he will continue these tirades against Jones in his future interviews.
Colby Covington will share same card as Jon Jones at UFC 295
UFC 295 will mark the return to Madison Square Garden. The UFC makes an annual appearance at the Madison Square Garden in New York. The reigning welterweight champion Leon Edwards might defend his title against Colby Covington at the event.
According to UFC President Dana White, Edwards will likely defend the title before the end of this year, probably at Madison Square Garden. Edwards will defend his welterweight title against the prominent UFC star Colby Covington. Covington said that Jones hesitates to share the card with him in the interview with Bisping. There were reports about Covington fighting Edwards at UFC 295. However, Covington claimed that it might not happen because of Jon Jones.
This is due to the fact that Covington will unearth a few skeletons along the way about Jones. Colby has no filter when it comes to revealing uncomfortable truths. Furthermore, he plans to ask Jones questions that will hurt and make him uncomfortable at the UFC 295 press conference. It would be a fascinating interaction for the fight fans but not for Jones.
