Colby Covington tells Gable Steveson to drop Jon Jones for Daniel Cormier
Covington responded by referring to the domestic violence allegations against Jones. “Chaos” said Jones’ professional accomplishments do not excuse his alleged behavior outside the cage. The former middleweight champion then suggested Steveson train together
Daniel CormierJones’ longtime rival.
“The things I say only bother you because they’re true,” Covington wrote on X. “You’re a narcissistic, violent sociopath. Your accomplishments in the octagon don’t make you a better person outside of it. Those same accomplishments certainly don’t give you the right to abuse women, Jon. Ultimately, I feel like Gable is too bad in this situation…if Gable really cares about moving forward in his career, he should dump you and go train with a real man like Daniel Cormier.
Jones and Cormier’s heated rivalry has continued since their fighting careers ended. Jones defeated Cormier in his first UFC bout, but his knockout victory in their rematch was overturned after “Bones” failed a drug test. Years after his retirement, “DC” has said he has no interest in settling with Jones.
The things I say only bother you because they are true @jonnybones. You are a narcissistic violent sociopath. Your accomplishments inside the Octagon do not make you a better person outside of it. Those same accomplishments certainly don’t give Jon the right to abuse women either. At the end of the day, I feel for Gable that he’s in this situation…it’s too bad he can’t take the punches of the heavyweights as well as your wife. If Gable really cares about advancing his career, he should dump you and go train with a real man like this Daniel Cormier.
