Fans Give Divided Opinions Following Colby Covington’s Rant on Jon Jones for Gable Steveson’s Loss
Fans are divided after Colby Covington cited Jon Jones as the reason why Gable Steveson lost.
Gable Steveson might have lost his second UFC bout in a shocking manner, but trying to find the underlying cause, Colby Covington recently went off on Jon Jones. Calling Jones a “demon,” Covington held the former UFC Heavyweight Champion responsible for the Olympic gold medalist’s loss. However, fans seemed to be double-minded on what Covington said.
The Internet Weighs in on Jon Jones' Rapport with Gable Steveson
One fan said, “Ngl there’s some truth to it just becusse Jon making him his prodigy put a bullseye on gables back that just come with bad energy bad vibes….”
Another netizen said, “You know it's and when Colby is making some sense.”
A third fan explained, “I actually felt like Jon was a distraction for Gable. Like 3 times on the walk out and he's grabbing Gable and whispering stuff in his ear. Even while Buffer was announcing Gable, Jons in his ear. Dude needed to let Gable breath a bit imo lol. But im not complaining about it.”
Another fan quipped, “Terrible people often align with other terrible people. So Jones being Gable mentor makes all the sense in the world.”
This user wrote, “Gable was already a piece of sh*t before he met jones.”
A fan commented, “I don't think Covington is in a position to say to someone he's an horrible person. Also Jones can be a criminal but for sure knows the fighting game.”
A X user chimed in, “Gables ra*e accusations are the reason fans hate him. Jon Jones as your mentor doesn’t help matters much. I guess Gable is comfortable taking the heel route.”
Surely, these are some strong reactions from the fans. However, despite Covington’s brutal verbal attack on Jones, the UFC heavyweight icon has not yet responded to the claims.
