Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones recently wrapped up his more than year-long ordeal with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.

He hasn’t been booked for his comeback fight just yet. But Jones’ coach Mike Winkeljohn told Australia’s Submission Radio that his fighter suffers from a fear of dining out at restaurants … because someone might spike his food, leading to another positive test.

“Jon’s even scared to eat out – he’s scared to be anywhere,” Winkeljohn said. “He’s like, ‘Gosh, what if that waiter doesn’t like me? The bus boy doesn’t like me?’ You know? Who knows what’s going to happen out there. And it is kind of scary that way if you think about it.”

For starters, we find it pretty hard to believe Jones said “Gosh.” But getting past that, this is a pretty high level of paranoia. And former UFC interim welterweight champion Colby Covington seized on it.

Covington took a swipe at Jones on Twitter tonight: “Yeah Jon. Applebee’s keeps steroids and cocaine on site to sprinkle in your soup de jour. You’re such a (expletive) assclown,” Covington wrote in response to the report about Jones’ restaurant phobia.

And while it’s pretty safe to say these guys aren’t likely to ever get booked for a fight – unless Covington eats out every meal at Applebee’s for the next year and orders those brew pub pretzels with beer cheese dip every time – at the very least maybe we have a new social media rivalry to look forward to.
