Well if the Chael rumor had any substance, it certainly follows that he wouldn't be in custody right now.

What's hard to dismiss is that Chael made a lucky guess. So what was he referring to a month ago?

He just knows Jones is a liability

It's rare to live wisely. Throw youth, fame and $$ into the equation, and you get trainwrecks. Keeping in mind only a fraction of out-of-control celebrity athletes are going to get caught. Lots of unreported sexual assaults, batteries, dope and alcohol related incidents you can be sure.
Yep.. that is just the reality. Just, a real shame to see someone with Jones' talent go this route

Like I said in the other thread though. It's not that uncommon with young all time great champions. Tyson, Ray Leonard.. when you have a taste for hard drugs and you are the #1 fighter in the world -

People wanna be around youl they wanna be seen with you.Drug dealers LOVE being around fighters and tough guys. If they know that by giving em coke they can be "buddies". That's just another influence that is only gonna make it harder to stay away from drugs.

I agree. Kind of strange considering the timeline of it all.. the only thing I'm thinking is that perhaps Chael had an inside source that knew for a fact Jones was STILL doing coke on a consistent basis and it was only a matter of time until this happened. Either something nuts like this or another drug test failure.

That's the only way it'd make sense to me.

He couldn't be that sure Jones would drop from the card, just on the general basis that his life is a mess could he? Or maybe he had firsthand accounts of Jon continuing la vida loca. That would be more specific info though.

Sometimes, life can kick us in the face so hard we get K.Oed. It is our ability to stand back up,train harder, and get back in the ring that makes us champions.
Sounded like a good thing to write.

LOL, exactly what I just posted too.

What I don't get it if this is untrue etc, why hasn't this been shot down by Jones PR team / UFC etc?

They say there's no smoke without fire...so there's obviously a story here, but not as 'juicy' as expected

The thing is, Chael was 100% sure. If he just heard that Jon was still living it up, you'd think he'd say something more circumspect. But then, he is the type to be committal, and definitely doesn't care much about being wrong. So there's that.
