I dont think any employer should be forced to make someone undergo counseling but they should make it available. Remember, these guys are contractors and i feel a union in mma will be as bad as free agency in the nflThat's what I keep thinking.
Jones is probably surrounded by the same hanger-ons as other athletes. Im upset with his family and the UFC profiting on that unequal relationship following December. That could have been the wake up call. The UFC, like the NFL and NBA, owes these guys counseling and mentorship from previous champions. If you fuck it after that so be it. We can't stop you from shooting yourself in a club.... But the UFC shouldn't be clearing and making excuses so they can profit on the dangerous path their athletes are taking.
