Throwback photos of the couple reportedly showed them having fun and enjoying many uni parties, although both men have taken shots at each other over the years.
Jorge Masvidal claims that Jones' belongings were stolen and was the reason for their fallout.
ESPN reported that he said, "Jon Jones warned my numerous times. Jon Jones and me weren't cool like that. We hadn't spoken much.
"But he sent me a few messages via our managers at that time, such as, "Man, watch him.
"'He stole my clothes; my clothes don't even fit him.
"He robbed my of money before he left. "I never spoke to him again."
Masvidal would hear many stories about Jones from American Top-Team teammates, including: "Colby would just make fun of Jon Jones."
"Always to my room, like, Jon Jones this, Jon Jones that ...' We were watching his fight and he was like,
"Man, this guy is a piece of s**t.
"I'm like, there are always three sides to the story: there is yours, mine, and the truth."
Jones, the former pound-for-pound king, has not responded to Covington’s recent jibes at his. However, he ripped into his former uni buddy during the UFC 247 press conference in December 2019.
He stated that Colby was a "habitual liar at night." He is.
He told his fans that they lived together for two-years. They lived together for one semester.
"I have made many mistakes, and a lot people don't think I'm a good person. But from my perspective, Colby is a terrible person. He is. He is.
Covington, a former interim welterweight champion, will return to action this weekend and face Masvidal in a eagerly-awaited grudge match at UFC 276.
