Jon Jones finds it "amusing" to watch Colby Covington "fail repeatedly" 

Jon Jones took pleasure in watching Colby Covington suffer a brutal loss at UFC Tampa after Joaquin Buckley dominated 'Chaos' before the doctor intervened in the third round. The stoppage marked Covington’s second consecutive loss after a year-long absence from the octagon, following the setback against Leon Edwards at UFC 296.

The defeat follows Covington’s pre-fight media comments, where he reignited his feud with Jones by taking verbal shots at the UFC heavyweight champion. The tension between the two dates back to their days as college roommates, and their rivalry has remained bitter ever since.

Jones took to X to react to Covington's recent loss and wrote:

"I know I shouldn’t but it’s just so much fun. It’s amusing watching someone you know hate you fail repeatedly."

For Jones, Covington’s loss was a moment of amusement since he secured a win in front of Donald Trump at UFC 309. 'Bones' appeared to relish the irony that Trump seemingly skipped Covington’s fight despite his support. Meanwhile, Covington blamed his performance on prioritizing Trump’s preparation for the U.S. election over his training camp.

The loss against Buckley was particularly devastating, as Covington was overwhelmed throughout the fight, leaving the doctor no choice but to halt the contest due to a cut above his eye. The former UFC interim welterweight champion now faces an uphill battle to reclaim his standing in the division having lost three fights in the last five outings.

Jake Paul claims Jon Jones deserves $50 million for potential fight against Tom Aspinall

Jake Paul believes Jon Jones deserves a $50 million payday for a potential heavyweight title fight against interim champion Tom Aspinall. The conversation regarding the potential matchup gained traction after UFC CEO Dana White confirmed that he's working on bringing the fight to fruition.

Paul, who frequently critiques the UFC fighter pay structure, did some "math" before speculating on the commercials of the Jones vs. Aspinall clash. He took to X and wrote:

"Did my math. Understand their hope to have Jon Jones lose so they can create the next man. So… 'Bones' should be getting a $50M guarantee for that fight. And $10 for every PPV buy above 600K. If they offer that to Jon, it’s fair. He should take it."
