“Ultimately Jon Did Not Want…” – After Claiming Jon Jones Schemed to Keep Him Away From UFC 295, Ex-Roommate Colby Covington Finally Opens Up on the Accusations

Colby Covington will make his return to the Octagon at UFC 296. He will headline the main event of the last pay-per-view of the year against Leon Edwards for the latter’s welterweight title. Meanwhile, ‘Chaos’ recently discussed failing to secure a place on the UFC 295 card, while placing the blame on heavyweight champion, Jon Jones.

Fans will get to witness Jon Jones defend his heavyweight title for the first time against veteran Stipe Miocic. They are set to headline UFC 295, which will take place in the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden. However, Colby Covington wanted to fight on the same card, but he won’t be doing that. Let’s see what he had to say.

Colby Covington blames Jon Jones for his UFC 295 omission

The former interim welterweight champion mentioned how the UFC 295 event was going to be one of the biggest pay-per-views in the history of Dana White‘s promotion. However, Covington’s former college roommate, Jon Jones, did not want him to be a part of that event. He said, “It was going to be an electric factory. It was going to be one of the biggest pay-per-views of all time. But ultimately, Jon did not want me on there.”

Moreover, he did not get the news from the UFC officials. Rather, ‘Chaos’ had his own source, who verified that rumor to him. “I am not gonna say the UFC told that, you know. I have my source and you know, things happen.” Moreover, Covington even reverted back to an old accusation he laid on Jon Jones.

‘Chaos’ wants answers from the heavyweight champ

Colby Covington has become a strong adversary of Jon Jones, even though they went to college together. He even rejects the notion that ‘Bones’ is the greatest MMA fighter of all time. Moreover, recently he expressed his suspicion about Jones visiting the infamous Epstein Island. The welterweight star even mentioned that the heavyweight champion has yet to comment on those rumors. Covington further stated, “He hasn’t actually come out and denied the rumors that he might have been on Epstein Island.”

As such, ‘Chaos’ is looking for answers. He wants to ask Jon Jones the questions that the media normally does not want to ask him. “So I want answers. I wanna ask him the tough questions that the journalists aren’t gonna ask him,” Colby Covington added.
