“It’s funny to sit back and see how people are going crazy about Jon Jones. Obviously he needs to get his sh*t together. I’m not defending him but people shouldn’t throw stones like we are all perfect. I hope this guy gets back to where he needs to be – entertaining the world.”

With a unique take on the matter, the Cameroonian, in his own way, stated that Colby Covington, someone always in the media spotlight for the wrong things, should not be commenting on Jones.
