UFC:s lätt-tungviktsmästare Jon Jones har blivit gripen misstänkt för rattfylla och vapenbrott. Nyheten slog ner som en bomb i MMA-världen men långt ifrån alla är förvånande över händelsen.
Jon Jones nyligen besegrade motståndare Dominick Reyes och Thiago Santos samt mästaren konkurrent Jan Blachowicz har nu alla gjort sina uttalanden om händelsen:
This is so unbelieveable it’s almost laughable! #sameoljon #somechamp #sad https://t.co/Ws0gHFOGIz

I think UFCs 205 div needs a new champ! ( One thats not forever in trouble!)
I think me and Reyes deserve to fight for that belt! @danawhite @Mickmaynard2 @ufc @DomReyes @UFCBrasil @Alexdavismma @espnmma— Thiago Marreta (@TMarretaMMA) March 26, 2020
Wise people said #stayathome, but no…

Flugviktsmästarinnan Valentina Shevchenko har dock valt att försvara Jones:
So sad the modern world is all about hype!
Now many people starting to insult Jon Jones without knowing his real situation!
Fighting on the same card , I could see he is kind and noble man !
Him being in all that difficult times – he will be back Stronger ! 💪🏻— Valentina Shevchenko (@BulletValentina) March 26, 2020
Andra frispråkiga fighters som Colby Covington och Ben Askren med flera har valt att kritisera Jones:
See, there’s no need to panic. The world’s still perfectly normal. https://t.co/YuWyN0MukI

Obviously as a recovery/addiction advocate I sympathize with Jon here, but at the same time at one point or another its black and white… either learn from your mistakes and set a good example, especially with the size of the platform he has, or fuck it all up… https://t.co/nP9tHg5yCS

For the life of me I can’t figure out why he doesn’t hire a buddy and pay him $50k a year to be his driver https://t.co/VcTyztKiVG

This is the most talented fighter in the history of MMA. Imagine if other sports had to deal with their GOAT being such a mess. It’s drives me nuts. https://t.co/rbftyvxHxu
