Teixeira wants Jon Jones suspended for one year after DWI: ‘UFC has to do the right thing’

Former light heavyweight title challenger Glover Teixeira doest not want to see his division’s champion to get away scot free after his most recent incident.

Back on March 26. in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Jon Jones was once again arrested after being caught driving while intoxicated and for negligent use of a firearm that was also found inside the vehicle. So far, the UFC has not made an announcement on whether or not Jones will be stripped of his title or suspended.

In an interview with Ag Fight, however, Teixeira would like to see Jones pay for his mistakes, especially because it is not the first or second time Jon finds himself in a similar situation, which, in Glover’s opinion, makes it seem other fighters would not get the same treatment from the company.
