Can Jones become champion? Of course not, I'm not sure he'll even beat his wife right now. This guy is pathetic. Who put him in the P4P rankings anyway? Those rankings are made by people who have accomplished nothing in their lives... The only person Jones has really beaten in the last three or four years is his wife.
Covington last fought against his compatriot Jorge Masvidal in March 2022 at UFC 272. Colby won that fight, which lasted the entire distance, by unanimous decision. He has 17 wins and three losses under his belt.
Jones last fought his compatriot Dominick Reyes in the Octagon in February 2020 at UFC 247. That fight lasted the entire distance and ended in Jones' favor by a unanimous decision of the judges. He has 26 wins and one loss under his belt.
