Covington: Jon Jones and ‘scumbag’ team are trying to pay off UFC and USADA for earlier return

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is currently serving at least a two-year suspension for his failed drug test at UFC 214 a year ago. However, his team is expecting that “Bones” would somehow be able to return within 2018.

For both Chael Sonnen and UFC interim welterweight champion Colby Covington, this could be a problem. For one, they would be putting USADA’s integrity and legitimacy in question.

“I feel like if that does happen that he comes in before that two-year time frame, we would find out a lot about USADA,” Covington told Sonnen in a recent guest spot on the Beyond the Fight podcast.
