Whether We Want to or Not, It’s Time to Move on From Jon Jones

It is time to have a very real and difficult conversation about Jon Jones the fighter and person. We need to start treating them as one and the same because with Jon the fighter we don’t know Jon the person because if he was anyone else in the world he would be behind cell doors and we would just see him as another lost soul of society.

Instead, we know Jon Jones the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in the history of MMA so we tend to forgive and forget time and time again. That time though is dead and gone and it is time we treat Jon Jones as we do others in his situation because until he is taken off his pedestal things will never change.
