Speaking on the Jim Rome show, Dana White didn't hold back in regards to the situation of Jon Jones. Jones is possibly facing up to a four-year long suspension for his recent drug test failure before his planned fight with Daniel Cormier at UFC 200. He's currently serving a year long suspenion and he'll meet the California Athletic Commisssion in December.
However, Jones faces more than just trouble inisde the octagon as he's faced several legal troubles including DWI charges in upstate New York back in 2012, leaving the scene of an accident in 2015, and then violating his probation a year later by being pulled over for drag racing.
White had this to say about Jones:
“I don’t know. He’s not a ‘just about the money’ type guy. He’s really not that kind of guy. I just think that Jon likes to party and he’s a guy that likes to go out and have fun and do whatever it is that he does, and I think the money and the fame made it a thousand times worse.
“This guy couldn’t control himself and would completely go off the deep end. I’m not sitting here acting like Mr. Holier-than-thou, we’ve all gone and had fun and probably partied a little too much here and there, but he consistently, consistently kept doing it. Even when he would completely f**k up, he would pull himself together and come out and completely f**k up again. Even this last time when he came back, fans forgave and he was the most popular fighter and everybody wanted to see this guy succeed, and he did it again. It’s just unbelievable."
“Even worse than that, this guy was looking at jail time. This judge gave him another shot and this guy was looking at some serious jail time and a lot of bad stuff and that still didn’t wake him up. If that’s not a wake-up call, you’re unfixable.”
