I hope he gets the help he needs.
The UFC leadership needs to step up and make sure their athletes are healthy unlike the WWE. I don't want to see "Deadspin's dead MMA fighter of the week".

I was REALLY looking forward to that card. I've been tuning out of UFC as the months go by, and really wanted this card to bring me back. Couldn't have happened at a worse time.

Is any place reporting on this? Not finding shit.
Yeah, a hit and run with some drugs thrown in. Comedy gold.

They're waiting for confirmation.
Also, the act sucks but it if its true it is comedy gold because of all the shit that went down earlier in the year. Dana is going to have a lot of explaining to do.
Rumor is they're fine. No injuries.

They should strip him of the title and have Rumble fight someone else for it this summer.
And I say this as someone who definitely likes Jones more than most

I just hope everyone waits until all the facts are released before jumping to any conclusions about Mr. Jones' character.

"You'll have to do some community service, but you'll be in Vegas for Weidman very soon."
wow.
Totally agree, should wait to see if this was his second DUI or not.

I want Dana White fired. This might help.

If this is true I think they should. If it is true he needs a wake up call.

DC save us.
If true Jon Jones life has spiraled out of control, the guy needs help and hopefully he didn't hurt anyone in the accident.
I just started following this story (somewhat follow UFC) but the one day in rehab stint should have been an indicator to anyone that Jon Jones needs to focus on getting his life together before he kills himself or someone else instead of on an upcoming fight.

If this is true he will absolutely be stripped of the belt. The UFC was pretty generous in letting him go to rehab and then just leave whenever already. Time to come down hard especially if he dipped from the scene and had drugs on him.

It'd be sad that he didn't get his shit together after his first time getting caught with coke and also his first DUI crash. Jon Jones is not a champion.

I don't feel any remorse for a man that had a chance to rehab and turned it down for more of that UFC money.
He should've been getting his affairs in order.

Why? I'm sure no one want's anyone to get hurt in a car accident but Bones getting caught with the snow is good for everyone except Dana. Maybe he'll get the help he needs and people will take it seriously instead of him getting away with everything a continuing to put his life and others in danger. Dude is no angel, he knows what he's doing.

Kinda fascinating how Chael blatantly cheating in the UFC is this cute thing to people now.
Always made me laugh though, dude seriously should have jumped ship over to WWE.

I mean, the company needs the drug shakeup. He's doing a good thing. It's just like all the cyclists who spoke out about their own drug use in order to get people to realize just how pervasive it was in order to compete at that highest level.
How you present your actions matter more than the actions themselves in many cases. Cop to it, take it on the chin and don't try to hide it and you're much more easily forgiven. Especially when you're charismatic as fuck.
Lie, cover up and pretend to be the good guy and people turn on you.

If true, I hope that he goes to jail for a long time. He has like 4 kids for fucks sake.

Chael is the hero the sport deserved.

Sorta but I feel like most of his fans who loved him before he got busted basically love him for the same reasons. He's just hard to really take seriously at this point. I was a really big fan of his too.
Heroes don't lose that many title fights back to back lol.
Oh my god. That would definetly solve the problem, right?

It worked for baseball. ARod is earning back the fan support and will be in the HOF. Can't say I'd feel the same for Barry Bonds.

Hoping his problem gets taken care of now, instead of letting it continue and possibly "snowballing" isn't all that bad IMO. Dude clearly has issues.
