Jon Jones is currently one of the best fighters in the history of the MMA world and has had 14 successful title defences and cemented his legacy as one of the best ever. Jon Jones’ interesting message to Fedor previously leaked as well.
Jon Jones has repeatedly talked about deserving better pay for fighting the likes of UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou. The whole topic of UFC fighters deserving better pay has maintained steam throughout the months. However, it might have affected Jon Jones’ career in the UFC.
Jon Jones has competed in a total of 28 times and has career earnings under $10 million. Despite this, he has been a champion for UFC fighter rights as he believes he and several other UFC fighters have been severely underpaid by the promotion and Dana White.
Colby Covington is a huge fan of Conor McGregor and does not like Dustin Poirier, as many fans are well aware of the fact. Colby Covington was also spotted with Donald Trump’s wife earlier this year.
During an interview with Helen Yee Sports, Colby Covington talked bout Jon Jones and brutally eviscerated him. This was largely due to Jon Jones’ getting arrested earlier this year for domestic violence against his wife while in front of their children.
“Absolutely not. I don’t even know if he can beat up his wife still. The guy’s pathetic. He’s just grasping at straws now… How is he still even in the pound-for-pound rankings? The moral of the story is the only person Jon Jones has beaten in the last 3-4 years is his wife… How is he still credible to be a pound-for-pound fighter?
“The guy’s washed up. Dana White said it himself, Uncle Dana. He’s the biggest waste of talent in the history of the UFC. I don’t think we should see that guy fight again. I think he’s cognitively declined. All the partying, all the drugs, all the steroids. The guy’s a mess.”
