Colby Covington and Jon Jones were roommates in college
Colby Covington used to share a room with Jones during their college days, according to 'Chaos'.
In a 2014 interview on Fox Sports' MMA Roasted (h/t Bleacher Report), Covington revealed that the duo got into a lot of trouble during their college days. He said that they used a get into fights at home parties. The duo lived in a small town in Iowa where others always wanted to pick fights with wrestlers like them.
He also emphasized back then that Jones had a really bad temper. 'Bones' would often lose his cool and he would throw people out of the window.
Nevertheless, a lot has changed since then. Jon Jones went on to become the youngest champion in the history of the UFC. Covington also tasted UFC gold when he beat Rafael dos Anjos for the interim welterweight title.
