White: Jon’s had a lot of chances
Dana White: “A lot of people know, Jon’s had a lot of chances. This one was his last chance. He’s got to handle his business outside of the Octagon.”
UFC president Dana White appeared Wednesday on ESPN’s SportsNation, and discussed the suspension of Jon Jones, and the lifting of his light heavyweight title.
“A lot of people know, Jon’s had a lot of chances,” said White as transcribed by Shaun Al-Shatti for MMAFighting.com. “This one was his last chance. He’s got to handle his business outside of the Octagon and then we’ll see where he goes from there.”
“Obviously he’s one of our biggest stars. He was on his way to becoming one of the greatest ever, and he’s got some legal problems he’s got to deal with now. So we suspended him, stripped him of the title, and he’s got some work to do outside of the sport. Then we’ll decide when he comes back.”
Jones’ sole public comment so far has been a tweet:
Jon Bones Jones @JonnyBones
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I’ve let down.
