Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones and Colby Covington are not the best of friends at the moment.
The welterweight fighter recently did an interview where he requested that the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion cheat on his wife again.
Covington also had some other unkind things to say about Jones and now the former champion has issued a scathing response of his own through a rant on Twitter.
Yes because I've been using your name and interviews talking about some imaginary college two year relationship.

At the end of the day brother, I feel sad for you. I couldn't imagine holding that type of animosity in my heart.

I understand you're trying to get your followers up, there's nothing wrong with that.

Your jealousy and hatred for me it's clear as day. The weird thing is, I'm not even sure what I did to you. I haven't seen you in like 11yrs

The rant was capped off by the following after somebody asked Jones to throw a boomerang at Covington:
And have him turn around and go cry to the police, I'll pass https://t.co/ZZ75Q9RN64

Jones also tweeted support for former UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum, who got into a physical altercation with Covington today at a Sydney, Australia hotel.
There has been no response from Covington at this time on the Twitter rant from the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion.
