Yesterday afternoon UFC Light heavyweight Champion. Jon "Bones" Jones was involved in a hit-and-run accident. Earlier today Jones was arrested on a felony account due to the driver being a pregnant female. The pregnant broke her arm in the accident. When Police searched the vehicle they found marijuana and a pipe. Jones also fed the scene. This begs the question should the UFC strip Jon Jones of his title?
This is not the first time Jones has put himself in the the midst of controversy. Failing a drug test for cocaine just 6 months prior. As well as having a history of driving under the influence.
With Jones prior history of controversy it seems to be the only right decision is to strip Jon Jones. UFC has dished out a lot of damage control for Jones and his personal problems. But this time may be to much for the UFC. It is a do or die for the UFC. Either keep Jones as a champion and garner some very bad press that could possibly ruin the UFC and label themselves as a corrupt company. Strip Jones and dish out damage control on the UFC's part saving face for the company as well. Stripping Jones is the only logical idea. It's a very big disappointment that we won't see such a good fighter progress any further and this setbacks the GOAT talk for Jones for many years. But Jones has gone to far and must be punished for his behavior to save face for the UFC. Either Jones takes the repercussions or the UFC takes it.
