The Tailgate

I mean c'mon, when is enough enough with this fuckin guy? The guy has been arrested 4 times since 2012 and each one keeps getting worse then the one before. There was the hit and run case involving the pregnant woman, who's arm he broke then he ran off while having a bag of coke in the car, a couple DUI's mixed in there but this one seems to be the most troubling one yet. Jones had two charges brought against him, one was a felony of injuring or tampering with a vehicle and another was for misdemeanor domestic batter......how the domestic battery is a misdemeanor compared to tampering with a car I will never know but I digress. The details that have come out thought I guess are the more disturbing parts of the arrest, it was said that Jones girlfriend took their two kids from the hotel while officers observed blood on her clothing and her lip. Jon's girlfriend said that her lips were apparently just really dry, no that's really what she actually said. She had a swollen lip and a bump underneath her eye but she did not allow photos to be taken nor did she want to interview with the officers. According to the report by ESPN, "prior to being read his Miranda rights, Jones said the Las Vegas Metro PD would be facing a lawsuit for putting him in handcuffs on the biggest night of his life. After his rights were read, Jones "immediately burst into tears," the report stated. The report described Jones as going through an "emotional roller coaster."
Like I said how much longer are we going to keep doing this bullshit? His countless arrests, his PED use and let's all take a step back as well, Jon Jones isn't the world beater he used to be. Now this isn't be saying Jon Jones sucks, cause he doesn't he's still a fuckin top dog in the UFC but he isn't putting that work in the octagon like we remember him doing. His last three fights against Thiago Santos, Anthony Smith and Dominick Reyes were all wins yes, but extremely underwhelming compared to the guy he used to be. I'll be blatantly honest too, I full on believe he lost the Reyes fight. Reyes took the fight to The Champ, he pushed the pace and walked Jones down all 5 rounds. His last win was against Alexander Gustafsson, yeah we all wanted to see that rematch but we wanted to see an immediate rematch, not 5 years after the original fight. His big win over DC? Overturned because he again tested positive for PED's. It's funny to look back and think that I actually hated DC and was a big Jon Jones fan, I can't really pinpoint why or give a reason....I just did. Honestly though, he's been talking about moving up to Heavyweight for going on 2 years now, there has been no real inkling of this dude stepping into the cage to fight at heavyweight, yeah there has been some murmurs about it but that's pretty much it. This dude thinks he's fuckin bigger than anyone else in the sport and it's time for the UFC to move the fuck on. I want to consider him one of the best of all time but it's just so god damn hard to do after the countless positive tests for PED's. The UFC needs to focus its attention on other fighters cause way too many good, young, talent and just genuinely good people are getting overlooked by the company. We got guys like Alex Volkanovski, Max Holloway, Brandon Moreno, Jan Blachowicz and the list could go on for days. All those guys I named aren't just incredible fighters to watch but they're actually good humans. It's time to focus away from Jones because it really won't end with his bullshit. How many times is this shit gonna happen and the UFC is just going to let him slide with his bullshit apologies on instagram and twitter.
