Jon Jones responds to Colby Covington's latest insults: 'You’re obsessed with me'

UFC lightweight Jon Jones fired back at rival Colby Covington in a lengthy social media response, dismissing his latest criticisms as baseless and highlighting his own career achievements. Covington had previously blamed Jones for Gable Steveson’s shocking 12-second knockout loss at UFC 331, calling him a source of 'bad energy' and linking his influence to Steveson’s decline.

Jones countered by pointing out his own undefeated record and global success, while mocking Covington’s need for security and infrequent public appearances. He also shared an X-ray of Covington’s broken jaw from their 2019 fight, adding a jab about Covington’s past defeat by Kamaru Usman as evidence of his own dominance in their rivalry.
