A Twitter user asked Jon who he dislikes the most out of Dillon Danis, Colby Covington, Israel Adesanya and Daniel Cormier. For Jones, the answer was simple. He ignored Conor’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach as if he wasn’t even in the conversation. He chose Colby out of the remaining three to answer the question.

Jones reasoned that his altercations with Cormier are a thing of the past. As bitter as their rivalry was, “Bones” has possibly accepted that the trilogy with DC won’t see the light of the day. The former two-division champ has made up his mind about retirement. Following the third fight with Stipe Miocic, Cormier will hang his gloves.

Given their weight classes, a fight between the two isn’t a far fetched dream. Regardless, the fact that Jones still went for Covington over Adesanya is a testimonial of his hate for the former interim Welterweight champ.

Jon Jones and Colby Covington’s animosity go back to their college days

Jones’ feud with both Adesanya and Dillon Danis has been restricted to only social media. The same is the case with Colby Covington as well. However, then what is it that makes Jones dislike Colby more than the rest. The answer probably lies in the deep history between the two.

Jon and Colby were roommates in college. Before his fight with Rafael Dos Anjos for the interim belt, Colby revealed how Jones started doing drugs while he was still in college. He added that the future UFC champ would have roid rage very often. Jones would even order him to do the dishes.

Jones responded by calling Covington a special type of liar. He wished that Covington would lose to RDA in his next fight. However, that didn’t happen and Covington instead had UFC gold around his waist.
