Colby Covington believes Gable Steveson has done himself no favors aligning with Jon Jones.

Jones took Steveson under his wing before the Olympic gold medalist was offered a UFC contract. Steveson even competed under Jones' Dirty Boxing Championship promotion. Jones cornered Steveson for his successful UFC debut against Elisha Ellison back in July. “Bones†was back in Steveson's corner for UFC 331 this past Saturday, but things did not go the way the team envisioned.

Steveson was knocked out cold by Sean Sharaf in 12 seconds and made his exit from the Octagon before Bruce Buffer could announce the official result. Speaking to the folks at Submission Radio, Covington insisted that Steveson should drop Jones and start over with a new camp (via MMAJunkie).

“Jon Jones is bad energy,†Covington said. “That guy is a demon, man. We've seen the long laundry list of bad things he's done to women, to people, to cops, to drug testers. He's just a horrible person, bro. When you align yourself with, and you're surrounded by that bad energy all the time, it's going to rub off on you.

“You've got to surround yourself in this life with good people that are like-minded, that work hard, that have faith in God, and aren't just freaking piece of sh*t people like Jon Jones. So he should definitely cut Jon Jones, and get to a new camp, and get focused, and start believing, and start using his wrestling, what got you to the dance.â€

Covington hasn't shy on his views of Jones as a person throughout the years. The two were once roommates at Iowa Central Community College, but they had a falling out. Ever since, Covington has publicly ripped Jones and has brought up past legal issues.

Do you think Gable Steveson should be seeking guidance outside of Jon Jones, or should he stick with his current team? Sound off in the comments below.

Jasmine Jasudavicius eyes Natalia Silva title rematch in Toronto
Jasmine
Jasudavicius wants to fight for an
Ultimate Fighting Championship title on home soil.

Jasudavicius will have the Canadian crowd behind her when she faces
Erin
Blanchfield on Oct. 17 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta.
She views the matchup as a women's flyweight title eliminator. With
UFC 336 reportedly targeted for Toronto next year, Jasudavicius
hopes a victory over Blanchfield will earn her a quick turnaround
and a title shot in Canada.

Edmonton as path to Natalia Silva title rematch

Valentina
Shevchenko relinquished the 125-pound title because of injury,
and Natalia
Silva won the vacant championship at UFC
332 by defeating Cong Wang by
unanimous decision. Jasudavicius believes beating Blanchfield on
Saturday would warrant a rematch with Silva, calling the
opportunity to challenge for the belt in Canada an “honor.â€

“I think whoever wins this fight does expect a title shot,â€
Jasudavicius said at media day ahead of
UFC Edmonton. “I think this fight is the title eliminator. I'm
not here for a long time; I'm here for a good time. So, I would
love to stay active; I would love to fight in Toronto and it would
be an honor to fight for the belt in Toronto.â€

Jasudavicius (15-4) is coming off a victory over Karine
Silva, rebounding from a loss to Manon
Fiorot that ended a five-fight winning streak. The Canadian
also lost to current champion Silva in her second UFC appearance in
2022.

The fights return to the Apex for tonight's UFC Vegas 123 event, a 12-bout fight card headlined by Renato Moicano vs. Tom Nolan.

Moicano (21-7-1 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since submitting Chris Duncan this past April with a face crank. That triumph snapped a two-fight losing skid for ‘Money', who had previously dropped fights to Beneil Dariush and Islam Makhachev (see that here). The Brazilian has gone 5-2 over his past seven fights overall.

Meanwhile, Tom Nolan (11-1 MMA) will enter the Octagon sporting a five-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory coming over Fares Ziam this past June. ‘Big Train' suffered his lone career loss back in January of 2024, when he was TKO'd by Nikolas Motta in his promotional debut.

UFC Vegas 123 is co-headlined by a welterweight bout featuring Randy Brown taking on Jacobe Smith.

Brown (20-8 MMA) will enter the Octagon with hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid, this after suffering back-to-back losses against Gabriel Bonfim and Kevin Holland respectively. Prior to those setbacks, ‘Rude Boy' was coming off a second-round knockout victory over Nicolas Darby in April of 2025.

Meanwhile, Jacobe Smith (13-0 MMA) will be making a quick turnaround, this after earning a first-round TKO victory over Bruce Whitehead just four weeks ago at UFC 332 (see that here).

Also featured on tonight's UFC Vegas 132 main card is a welterweight bout between Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani and Farman Hasanov.

Lebosnoyani (11-2 MMA) will enter the contest on a six-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory coming over Seok Hyeon Ko this past July. ‘Mufasa' has gone 2-0 since making his Octagon debut back in February.

Meanwhile, Farman Hasanov (5-0) made his promotional debut back in June at UFC Baku, where he kept his perfect record in check with a unanimous decision win over Eric Nolan. ‘The Lion' has earned stoppage wins in three of his five professional fights.
