2015 has been a rough year for former UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones. A drug test was flagged for cocaine, a month and a half was spent throwing shade at Daniel Cormier. Then, he famously drove a rented SUV into another vehicle that was driven by a pregnant woman and disappeared for 24 hours.
This is what was left of Jon Jones’ car.
A warrant was issued and Jones would quickly turn himself over to police. He was then slapped with felony charges, suspended indefinitely by the UFC and stripped of his title. He then went into a prolonged period of media silence, and almost completely stayed out of the public eye.

Fast forward seven months and Jones is reinstated by the UFC. He is back on social media, showing off his suddenly ripped body and throwing shade at the man who stepped in as champion, Daniel Cormier. Now, he is back to doing interviews, spending an hour of his Wednesday afternoon to hang out with MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani to answer questions about everything from his drug use to the accident to his feelings on the UFC.
