Taking the title is the best PR the UFC could get. They look tough and set up Jones' GOAT run. UFC is definitely taking the title (unless a crack defense gets the charges dropped altogether. Just pull one of those I'll pay you a lot of money without admitting I did anything wrong deals.) | ||

is there more to this? is there another card to play?( this is a really bad WoL campaign pun i apologize) i do not think there is. but u never know. John Jones better get down on both knees.. and pray to god that her baby is born with nothing wrong with him/her. if there is anything wrong with that baby he is big trouble. | ||

https://twitter.com/arielhelwani News broke on Fox Sports Live. Holy fuck....although after hearing about the hit and run, and the fact that he broke a pregnant womans arm in it and then fled the scene I have no sympathy for him  UFC twitter just confirmed that Rumble vs Cormier is happening instead. | ||

Close enough (his diet probably has to adjust a bit) diet has to adjust quite a bit. fight camp training might be an issue depending on how he trains for fights (if he rests and then only does fight camps, or if he trains all the time) | ||

I bet DC will be ready, That being said I really wanted to see rumble beat jones and I think he had the tools to do it. Now we may never know. I would normally agree with this, but following Roy Nelson, and having seen DC (not recently or in person or anything) I wouldn't expect him to be in top fight shape. I don't think rumbles really ready but he's a talented striker with KO power so he can win any fight he gets in. Add to that if it goes long even though he struggles with weight cuts (he cuts a lot iirc) he should outlast DC easy. TLDR: DC is my pre fight night pick. | ||

obviously a guy like Rory is much more sensitive to a change in fight schedule than Ronda. | ||

I found something : A police report indicates Jones was driving a rented SUV when he allegedly ran a red light and broadsided the car of a pregnant woman in her 20s. Inside the SUV, police found Jon Jones MMA sports memorabilia, paperwork indicating the SUV had been rented by Jones’ wife, and a pipe with marijuana in it. A criminal complaint says one eyewitness saw Jones run from the accident but return to grab a handful of cash from inside the SUV before fleeing again. Another eyewitness, an off-duty police officer and a UFC fan, immediately identified the fleeing driver as Jones. It wasn’t until Monday night that police, who were searching for Jones, issued a statement saying “arrangements” had been made for the high-profile fighter to turn himself in. I think the accident broke her arm and not jones himself. | ||

I think the accident broke her arm and not jones himself. I don't mean to be rude but isn't that a given? Why would Jones randomly go out of his way to break a pregnant lady's arm, even if he was supposedly high out of his mind. Causing assault like that, and this would be a WAY bigger deal than what it really is. | ||
