Jon Jones has been in the UFC for more than a decade and has fought several top legends during that time. Jones has dominated three generations of fighters and is often regarded as the greatest of all time in the UFC. However, his career is marred by several controversies, and it seems like more truth still has yet to come out.

Jones is known for his fighting IQ and taking fights seriously, helping him defend his title the most times in UFC. Legendary referee John McCarthy recently posted a new episode of his WEIGHING IN Podcast and discussed some details about Jones. He described a particular moment before a fight when Jones engaged with a random person in a very questionable way.

When I went into Jon’s locker room. He’s bouncing around, he’s having a good time. There was an individual there, who was a black belt in BJJ and he was working for the promotion. He(Jones) says,’Can someone get on the ground for me’ and this guy, ‘Yeah. I will do it for you, I know how to roll’ and then Jon decides to do a se*ual act with him, saying, ’What If I do this? This isn’t illegal right.’

McCarthy revealed the individual was shocked and speechless, which forced him to step in and immediately stop Jon Jones’ actions. Following that, Jones casually mentioned he was only playing around and didn’t mean anything serious by what he had done. However, this revelation has definitely sparked the ongoing rumor in the MMA community about Jones possibly being a homosexual.

This was initially started by popular UFC content creator MMA GURU, who made multiple videos accusing Jones of being gay. He pointed to various interviews, old tweets, and awkward interactions as supposed proof, fueling intense speculation across the MMA community. MMA GURU highlighted moments where Jones appeared overly friendly with men, calling these instances red flags that shouldn’t be ignored.

He also referenced backstage footage where Jones hugged opponents intimately, claiming these gestures were more than just sportsmanship. Jones eventually responded on X, denying all allegations and calling MMA GURU’s videos desperate attempts to gain clout and views. However, this wasn’t the only instance Jones was accused of being homosexual.

Colby Covington and Jon Jones were college roommates at Iowa Central, but their relationship quickly soured due to clashing personalities. Their rivalry escalated over the years, with Covington frequently calling out Jones for drug use, failed tests, and criminal behavior.

Covington later claimed he witnessed questionable behavior from Jones in college, subtly suggesting incidents that hinted at Jones hiding his true sexuality.

He implied that Jones’s aggressive persona masked personal insecurities, using his past experiences to question Jones’s public image and orientation. Since then, both superstars have often exchanged insults online, calling out each other while entertaining the crowd. In a recent interview, the UFC heavyweight champ was asked to pick the most overrated UFC fighter and gave a sneaky remark on Covington.

Overrated. That’s funny. I could say his name but it’s really just because I don’t like him and saying his name gives him clout which I also don’t want to do. But his initials are C.C. and he’s a total douchebag. If you watch the sport, people would know who I’m talking about.
