UFC quick with the Jon Jones statement. Still assumedly making sure all the commas are in the right place on that Vitor Belfort statement.

Jon Jones is a very lucky man. Hopefully he turns a new leaf and really makes a change in his life. This could have been a lot worse.

No jail time or felony conviction for Jon Jones after that hit-and-(literally)run. If you commit a crime in America, it helps to have money.

It’d be a damn shame if Jon Jones’ MMA career is over because he easily would’ve retired with only one loss from disqualification.

Jon Jones pleads guilty of a hit & run of a pregnant woman, guess how much jail he gets? That’s right… None.

@marc_raimondi I’m a fan & former teammate of Jones. Although a different state, I’m baffled by the difference in sentence of him, Diaz & AS

Let’s not kid ourselves. Gus vs DC has always been so for a Jones rematch. It’s a win/win for the #UFC.
