When the name Jon Jones trends on social media sites like Twitter, it usually means one of two things. Either he’s announcing a new fight or a run-in with the law yet again and this time it’s not good news. However, Colby Covington does not find this surprising.

In a recent interview, Covington reveals what he thinks about the incident following the passage of around two weeks.

“You would think that it’s the craziest time ever. But then Jon Jones gets caught by the Albuquerque police again. Everything is normal in the world people. Jon Jones is still getting caught, he’s still a dirtbag, he’s still cheating on his wife and doing drugs. And we can almost go back to normal soon. So hang in there people. And hopefully, he goes to jail soon.”- Colby Covington
