Former UFC Interim Welterweight Champion Colby Covington recently took a swipe at Jones’ past issues with PEDs, with that coming via Twitter:
Hey @JonnyBones. Nobody’s looking. Go snort a few picograms.

Smith, who would find out about Covington’s tweet, would issue the following on Twitter:
-- 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?

There has been no response from Covington since Smith accused the former champion of tucking his tail and hiding in the corner of a Chicago gym.
UFC 235 takes place on Saturday, March 2 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada with Jon Jones and Anthony Smith headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, with a post-show podcast to follow.
