Colby
Covington has brought Daniel
Cormier into his latest feud with Jon Jones.

Jones’ protégé, Gable
Steveson, was knocked out by Sean Sharaf
in a major upset at UFC
331 in September in Los Angeles. Covington subsequently blamed
Jones’ “bad energy” for Steveson’s loss. Jones responded by saying
that Covington, his former college roommate, hasn’t achieved even a
fraction of what he has in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Colby Covington tells Gable Steveson to leave Jon Jones for
Daniel Cormier

Covington responded by citing domestic abuse allegations against
Jones. “Chaos” said Jones’ professional achievements don’t excuse
his alleged conduct outside the cage. The former interim
welterweight champion then suggested that Steveson train with
Daniel
Cormier, Jones’ longtime rival.

“The things I say only bother you because they’re true,” Covington
wrote on X. “You’re a narcissistic abusive sociopath. Your
achievements inside the Octagon don’t make you a better person
outside of it. Those same achievements definitely don’t give you
the right to abuse women either, Jon. At the end of the day, I feel
for Gable being in this situation… It’s too bad he can’t take
punches from heavyweights as well as your wife does. If Gable
really cares about advancing in his career, he should leave 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 their first UFC
bout, but his knockout victory in their rematch was overturned to a
no contest after “Bones” failed a drug test. Years after retiring,
“DC” has said he has no interest in reconciling with Jones.
