Story making rounds Jon Jones could be in trouble for violating plea agreement from his hit and run last year. The story is he was caught driving without a license or insurance, but his management said that he was speeding, but was fully licensed and insured.

Oh okay still sad he's kinda reckless in a car still but it could be worse.

He could have been 5 miles over and been stopped for all we know.

Oh okay still sad he's kinda reckless in a car still but it could be worse. Jones wrapped his car around a pole, then hit a pregnant woman and literally ran away and received no real consequences for either incident. I said it after the hit and run and I'll say it again, the UFC needs to cut their losses and get rid of Jon Jones. It's only a matter of before someone ends up seriously injured because of his bullshit.

Which is why I said he doesn't get benefit of doubt in previous post even if he's 5 miles over the speeding limit. However, Dana will not cut him & his suspension was techincally only a few months and even then that doesn't really count since he was dealing with legal troubles. I personally would humble him and make him start from the bottom but Dana has an investment to protect.

Bellator would love to sign him up as would Rizin I'm sure. That shouldn't really matter if you're arguing that Dana should just fire Jones because of the liability/to make a statement, but Dana is a businessman. He sees profits/losses before anything else.

Yea of course. You're not firing Jon Jones while he is still one of your most marketable people. It is sad to say but his trouble hasn't surpassed his talent yet which makes him valuable. Only way Jones gets cut is if he f*** up and has jail time.

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

Well, the UFC didn't have a Z-Pack to rub on it.

I'm guessing he threw his back out shutting his pants after seeing what Gall can do.

I wonder how many Q&As he'll do during his recovery.

BJ Penn has been accused of sexual assault in Ohio, and UFC has postponed his fight with Dennis Siver indefinitely.

Well I think Kimbo vs Dada 5000 is now a contender for the worst ever MMA fight as that was straight up embarrassing for both Bellator and MMA in general. the only thing about it was that 5000 give us the most half arsed attempted at a Flair flop in MMA history.

I don't think Kimbo landed that punch... I'm pretty sure 5000 just collapsed as he was just too exhausted to continue. Also found out that he had to take a stretcher ride out of the cage.
