Polarizing UFC welterweight star Colby Covington left a few members of the MMA community quite disappointed when he walloped Robbie Lawler in the main event of UFC Newark on Saturday. That includes reigning UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.<\/p>\n
Shortly after Covington’s victory over Lawler, Jones took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the action.<\/p>\n

“Robbie just let the whole world down,” Jones wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n
Speaking to MMA Fighting<\/a> on Monday, Colby Covington responded to this jab from Jones in fiery fashion.<\/p>\n \u201cJon Jones, he\u2019s out there talking s*it about Robbie Lawler letting the world down? Jon Jones knows firsthand about letting the whole world down,\u201d Covington told MMA Fighting<\/a>. \u201cDon\u2019t talk about Robbie Lawler, Jon Jones. Robbie Lawler\u2019s not wrecking a Bentley with hookers in the back of his car. Robbie Lawler\u2019s not hitting a pregnant lady and then fleeing the scene with all his drugs in the car. Robbie Lawler\u2019s a legend, he\u2019s a family man, he\u2019s a first ballot Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n \u201cSo how dare Jon Jones talk about him when he\u2019s the biggest piece of s*it in all of sports.\u201d<\/p>\n Covington’s win over Lawler also generated negative feedback from former ONE and Bellator champ Ben Askren, who apologized for losing to Jorge Masvidal, as his exit from the welterweight title picture means fans will have to listen to Covington and Kamaru Usman trade trash talk.<\/p>\n I want to apologize for losing bc now all of you have to listen to Marty and Colby talk to each other. It will be damn near unbearable.<\/p>\n — Funky (@Benaskren) August 3, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
