Anthony Smith Comes to Jon Jones’ Defense After Colby Covington Slam
Colby Covington tried to take a shot at Jon Jones on Twitter, and got shut down by Jones’ UFC 235 opponent in Anthony Smith. Covington responded to a UFC tweet hyping Jones and Smith’s bout by jabbing at Jones’ atypical drug test before UFC 232, where he had traces at the picogram level of turinobol in his system:
Hey @JonnyBones. Nobody’s looking. Go snort a few picograms.

That led Smith, who said last month that he doesn’t care about Jones’ drug test results, to clap back at Covington, telling him that the whole thing is “played out” and to “Stop throwing shade at my fight.” You can see his post below:
🙄 its played out, Colby. Its not funny anymore. Stop throwing shade at my fight. Also, I heard you have a issue with me getting a title fight… next time I see you, we should talk about that. Or you gonna tuck your tail and hide in the corner of the gym like you did in Chicago?
