Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is currently awaiting his USADA hearing concerning his latest drug test failure. Now former roommate and fellow UFC competitor Colby Covington has come forward with a few controversial statements on the former title holder.
Speaking on the Jim and Sam Show, Colby Covington revealed that be believes Jon Jones was taking performance enhancing drugs during their time as roommates. Furthermore, Covington claimed that the former champion may still allegedly be taking PEDs.
“He just started doing steroids and always freaking had roid rage. He’d come home and he’d yell at me ‘oh what the f—k are you doing Colby, do the dishes’ and he would just like freak out. I would see this roid rage in his eyes and I would just be like ‘what’s your deal, man?’. Cause he was wrestling at 197 [pounds], he was a national champ in junior college and he was trying to move up and go to heavyweight. So he thought he had to do a cycle of roids and I just lost a lot of respect for him.”
“He started partying a lot. Doing Ecstasy, doing all these drugs and the rest of history. He’s been doing them since college.”
“I think a lot of people knew. He was wrecking Bentley’s that the UFC gave him, he [had] hookers in the back of his car partying, cocaine bingers all night and then he was fighting the next day five-rounders.”
“Make no mistake about it, it’s just not possible to do that at that level without putting some chemical, performance-enhancing drug in your body.”
