Tim Kennedy says UFC champ Jon Jones used to smell of weed and booze in training

Retired UFC middleweight Tim Kennedy says he used to smell weed and booze while training with UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.

Jones (26-1, 1NC) has had a lot of legal troubles during his successful MMA career, some of which have been drug related. The longtime light heavyweight champion, who most recently defended his title against Dominick Reyes in February, admitted back in 2016 he used to drink heavily in the lead up to his fights, so Kennedy’s comments don’t come as much of a surprise.

Kennedy told Submission Radio the criticism of Jones’ performance in his last two fights against Reyes and Thiago Santos has been warranted.
