Colby Covington’s dig at Jon Jones was intercepted by Anthony Smith.
On March 2, Jones will defend his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight gold against Anthony Smith. The championship bout will headline UFC 235 inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The co-main event will see welterweight champion Tyron Woodley defend his title against Kamaru Usman.
The UFC posted a tweet promoting the event. Covington responded to it by taking aim at Jones:
Hey @JonnyBones. Nobody’s looking. Go snort a few picograms.
— Colby Covington (@ColbyCovMMA) February 14, 2019
“Hey [Jon Jones]. Nobody’s looking. Go snort a few picograms.”
Smith wasn’t impressed with the trash talk and addressed Covington:
? 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?

Covington and Jones were once roommates in college. Since “Chaos” has beefed up his trash talk, he’s taken aim at numerous fighters even if they aren’t in his weight class. Jones is no exception. Currently, Covington is at odds with UFC officials over losing his championship opportunity.
Do you think Colby Covington is desperate, or is he doing the right thing to keep his name out there?

Volkan Oezdemir thinks Jon Jones will need to finish Anthony Smith quickly when they fight at UFC 235.
“No Time” is a former 205-pound title challenger who has shared the Octagon with “Lionheart”. Smith earned his title opportunity by submitting Oezdemir in October. Speaking to John Hyon Ko of The Body Lock, the Swiss knockout artist explained why he thinks “Bones” needs to pick up a quick finish over Smith in Las Vegas:
“I think I’m still going to have to go with Jones but Anthony Smith is a surprising fighter. He’s durable and I think that’s one of his weapons — a way he’s going to upset everybody with Jon Jones.
“He’s still there, he has tons of experience, a lot of long fights, and a lot of success and knockouts in the later rounds. Somebody you need to finish really quick and that’s something Jon Jones will have to do.”
After three-straight wins, Smith will get his shot at becoming the first man to defeat Jones in mixed martial arts (MMA) competition. Their light heavyweight title bout will headline UFC 235 on March 2, 2019 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Also, in the co-main event, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley will be defending his title. “The Chosen One” faces title challenger

Anthony Smith’s coach Marc Montoya has built a squad of killers at Factory X in Englewood, Colorado.
Fighter-turned-head coach Montoya, who has spent the last 18 years training fighters in the Denver area, is the owner of Factory X Muay Thai & MMA. Montoya has quickly built the gym into a world-class facility that isn’t sneaking up on the competition anymore.
He lists current UFC light heavyweight title contender Anthony Smith among his top pupils. He recently sat down with LowKick MMA to discuss his gym’s recent successes.
“We haven’t been sneaking up on anyone in a while,” Montoya joked. “Like Xzibit [rapper] said, being underrated gave me time to create. I gotta bring some of the old school rap flavor since that’s part of the DNA.
“Seriously though we are super blessed to the success that we’ve had, and the culture that we have built from then till now is something that is an intricate part of why we have been successful. The guys not buying in but actually owning it is the key to where we sit
To his fighters, Montoya is much more than just a coach. He is a leader, a mentor, a father figure to some, and a friend to all. His passion is evident when he speaks about his team.
“I envisioned having a real team,” explained Marc. A group of guys that will have blood sweat and tears and share their life experiences together. I’ve said in many interviews that fighting is the vehicle that we get to share in life and I feel super blessed to be able to do that with all these young men and women.”
One such young man that Marc has been working with these last few years is Smith. Since being under the tutelage of coach Montoya, Smith has really hit his stride. Last year he rattled off three straight wins, earning a shot at Jon Jones’ light heavyweight title at UFC 235.
“Anthony Smith is an amazing fighter, he is an amazing guy,” Marc said. “He is getting an opportunity that he earned which is to fight Jon Jones here in March.
“Anthony is a family man, he is super coachable, and he is fun to have [around]. One of my coaches, Randy Caruso, does a lot of backend stuff for me, he is the silent assassin when it comes to our coaches because you don’t get to hear from him a lot. But Randy just mentioned to me yesterday about Anthony’s attitude and how amazing it is.”
While Smith is a heavy underdog in his main event bout against Jones, Montoya believes that Smith’s keys to victory are forged in the gym.
“He [Anthony Smith] is treating this like a regular fight,” Marc said. “And that comes from us preaching and telling him that, but Anthony also had to make a decision to do that. When fighters make a decision one way or the other, it dictates the future.”
