“Maybe Jon Jones’s Brothers Went Over to France”: Jon Jones’ Ex Roommate Colby Covington Makes Massive Fixing Allegations Over Ciryl Gane UFC Fight

There is no doubt that UFC 285 was one of the biggest events of the promotion in 2023. The UFC faithful eagerly waited for the day to come, as it marked the return of UFC legend Jon Jones. Something that made the bout unique was that Jones returned to a new division after a hiatus of three long years. For his debut fight at heavyweight, Ciryl Gane, stepped up to lock horns against Jones. Some members of the UFC community believed that the ring rust would have taken hold of the American’s strength and spirit. However, within two minutes and four seconds into the first round, Bones proved otherwise.

The 35-year-old was successful in trapping his opponent with an inescapable guillotine choke. Bones shook the entire MMA world with his seemingly effortless victory against someone as formidable as ‘Bon Gamin’. A notable MMA star talked openly about the unbelievable victory of Jones, and that’s none other than the former interim welterweight champion, Colby Covington. The ex-roommate of Jones feels that ‘Bones’ and his brothers fixed the fight by paying Gane.

Colby Covington makes huge allegations against Jon Jones and his brothers

Covington was talking to James Lynch. When Lynch asked ‘Chaos’ about his thoughts about Jones versus Gane, ‘Chaos’ said, “You know it just looked like Cyril was scared. Scared of the moment, too much pressure, too. Too big, he was afraid he didn’t even have been in there that night.”

He added, “So you know, honestly James, it looked like it was a work, it looks like it was a fix. Maybe Jon Jones’s brothers went over to France and told Ciryl that you know they’re going to pay him under the table to take a dive because that’s honestly what it looked like.“

But why would Jones’s brothers be involved in the fight? Let’s dive deeper into the storied history of the MMA star’s siblings.

The successful trio

It is a huge allegation that Covington has made against Jones and his brothers. Similar to Jones, both of his brothers are highly successful athletes. The only difference is that they are great football players. His older brother is Arthur, and his younger brother is Chandler. Arthur was in the NFL for eight long seasons, and he has played as a defensive tackle for popular teams.

Chandler is part of the Raiders and plays on the defensive end. The words of Covington might fall heavily on him, as the successful trio might find it difficult to let go of such a strong claim regarding the heavyweight title victory of ‘Bones’. At present, Covington is gearing up for a title bout against Leon Edwards, as mentioned by the UFC president, Dana White. The world needs to wait to find out how the trio will act against Covington.
