Jon
Jones is so unimpressed with one
UFC fighter that he doesn’t want to speak his name.
Jones was recently asked whom he considers the most overrated UFC
fighter. His response: a fighter with the initials “C.C.” While he
didn’t want to give the fighter in question any more clout by
speaking his full name, “Bones” added that anyone who follows the
sport should easily guess the name.
“I could say his name, but it’s really just because I don’t like
him,” Jones said in a recent appearance on the DeepCut podcast.
“And saying his name gives him clout, which I also don’t want to
do. His initials are C.C., and he’s a total douchebag. And if you
watch the sport, I think people will know who I’m talking
about.”
Considering the history between Jones and Colby
Covington, it’s no secret who the heavyweight champ is talking
about. Covington, who is well known for his heel persona, didn’t
fail to initiate beef with Jones as well. “Chaos” accused Jones of
having “fruity tendencies” and trying to “grope” during grappling.
Covington also went off on Jones for not fighting Tom
Aspinall.
Jones‘ fighting future remains uncertain, along with the UFC
heavyweight title picture. The champ hasn’t officially retired and
answers with ambiguity whenever asked about fighting interim champ
Aspinall, who is frustrated with inactivity.
Meanwhile, Covington has fought only once a year since 2020, going
2-3. The former welterweight title challenger is on a two-fight
skid, the latest of which came via stoppage against Joaquin
Buckley last December.
