Breaking news. Jones is suspended indefinitely and stripped of the title. Now it will be Rumble vs. Cormier at 187. It slays that me that Dana says Jon is disappointed he took the title from him. Sounds like Dana did it out of public perception than what he believed what was right. Usually he would be killing guys about conduct like this but instead it's "the show must move on". At least he did what needed to be done and not turn into Dana F'n White I do what I want screw you.

Should merge this with the other Jones thread on here, but disregarding that, I think the UFC made the right call.
I'll admit to being sort of an apologist for Jones with the whole cocaine thing a few months back, but what he's done now is absolutely inexcusable and is the type of thing that reflects badly on the whole sport. On the bright side of things, Rumble vs. Cormier should be a great fight and I'm super excited for that now.

Was bound to happen. UFC could only give Jones so many chances before saying "You're done".

Whether Dana likes it or not, this is the best course of action. If no charges are filed or Jones is found innocent, give him a title shot as soon as possible. But what a scumbag if it is true.

The sad part is some it sounds true because him and his lawyer is not even denying anything happened like you would expect.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure he did it, too. Legally, though, keeping it vague until convicted.

Damn shame to see what many would consider the greatest LHW title run of all time end like this. I didn't expect them to do it though, will be interesting to see what happens with Jones next.

Kenny Florian has already gone on record saying that Jones should be stripped of the belt and taken off the UFC 187 card. It's going to take a army of UFC fighters current and former to get Dana to strip Jones of the title. I'm surprised sponsors aren't up Dana's ass about these situations especially considering his poor judgment on Thiago Silva. I don't recall hearing about Thiago Silva. What was that all ab- *reads up Wikipedia* Oh.......shit.

He probably won't serve any time. Seeing as how his cousin is Judge Jeff Jones. But he will have to face............SID!!!!!!!

It's unfortunate his reign had to end this way, but it's not like he gave the UFC much choice.

f***ing moron he was gonna shatter Silva's record but then imploded.
He's not gonna change any time soon this is like his fourth incident.
Now let's see if DC can get to 205 in just a couple of weeks.

I honestly can't help but think that Dana White had to do this kicking and screaming but still stripping Jones of the title was right move because he could only f*** up so many times without getting punished before the UFC becomes a joke for doing nothing. That being said I really do hope Bones learns and and if he does have problems that he gets help because no one wants to see him end up pissing away his career.

There's no doubt about your Dana statement as I said in my other post if this was any other guy not making him money than he would be screaming ban for line. What's also sad but funny is I saw on comments from websites people screaming about Dana is wrong he should of let the legal system play out first.

f*** him. What a complete idiot. Example after example of wreckless shithead behaviour. Possibly the best fighter in MMA history and pulls this shit.
Oh well, lets go Cormier.

So Jon Jones is the 90's Shawn Michaels of UFC?

Man, what a f***ing moron. It's a shame, I used to be such a huge fan of Bones, but it's like, over the past year or so, he's become a massive arsehole. Had the potential to be one of the all time greats, not saying he isn't, but his reputation's tarnished now.
