Colby Covington rips ‘narcissistic sociopath’ Jon Jones, drags Daniel Cormier into their feud

Colby Covington has launched a scathing attack on ‘narcissistic abusive sociopath’ Jon Jones.

The former college roommates have been taking shots at each other on social media for several years.

Colby Covington recently restarted their beef following Gable Steveson’s 12-second knockout loss at UFC 331.

Is it time for him to retire, or should he fight again in 2026?

Jon Jones was in the corner as a coach when the Olympic gold medalist suffered a huge upset defeat against Sean Sharaf.

Post-fight, Colby Covington advised Gable Steveson to cut ties with the UFC legend who trains him.

Jones fired back at the ‘obsessed’ former interim UFC welterweight champion on Wednesday.

Covington responded by referencing Jones’ infamous arrest for domestic violence in September 2021.

‘Chaos’ also named Daniel Cormier as the UFC Hall of Famer Steveson should be training with.

From the source “The things I say only bother you because they’re true @jonnybones,” 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.”

The things I say only bother you because they’re true @jonnybones . 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 dont 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.

Colby Covington announced his official retirement from MMA amid a 2-4 skid earlier this year.

The 38-year-old continues to compete against the best fighters in the world under different rules.

Covington has become a standout star for Real American Freestyle [RAF], where he has picked up wrestling wins over Luke Rockhold, Dillon Danis, Chris Weidman, Arman Tsarukyan, and Belal Muhammad.

Next, he’ll face former UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev in the main event of RAF Abu Dhabi.

Covington vs. Chimaev will clash with UFC 334, which takes place in New York on November 14.
