Före detta lätt tungviktsmästaren Jon Jones var tidigare inblandad i en smitningsolycka där han körde på en gravid kvinna, som fick föras till sjukhus med en bruten arm. Enligt Jones var det guds vilja att det hela inträffade, och detta hade han att säga via ”Rolling Stone”:
This may sound weird, but I believe that God meant for what happened to happen.. I know a lot of people may twist this or look at it like, ’Why would God put this girl in a car accident with you? That’s a selfish way of thinking.’ But since that happened, so much good has happened in a lot of people’s lives. I’ve been able to reach thousands of kids.
I’ve told my story 72 times to completely different groups, to complete strangers. There’s something really freeing about being so real, open and candid with complete strangers and letting them judge you. It’s helped me know who I am. It’s helped me acknowledge the piece-of-shit qualities I had. Truth of the matter, I had some piece-of-shit ways. Still do have some. But at the same time, I have some really great qualities as well.
Jones kommer den 23 april att kliva in i oktogonen, då han möter Ovince St-Preux under UFC 197 i Las Vegas.
