Former two-time UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones reacted last night to the Covington – Werdum scuffle in support of Fabricio.
Taking to Twitter Jon Jones originally stated, “I despise racism , good job today @FabricioWerdum dude had the audacity to call you a “faggot” as he’s backing up on Facebook live.”
Then, earlier today Covington himself issued a reply to Jon Jones, stating, “Wow, a criminal condoning assault with a deadly weapon. Go figure. #FilthyAnimals”
To give a little background information on this situation, Covington and Jones are former college roommates, making their feud even more personal. This might explain why Jones decided to bring Colby’s mother into their Twitter battle.

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

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
