Now, Deadspin is reporting that at least some of Jones’ problems may be rooted in his entourage:
“I think he has a problem,” someone close to Jones told me last week, adding that it was unlikely Jones would get real help. “He doesn’t have the right people around him.” (Jones’s manager, Malki Kawa, persistently comes up as the worst of his influences, which probably isn’t a surprise to anyone who’s ever had to deal with him.) UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones announced he was entering a drug treatment facility after testing positive for cocaine on a December 4 test. “I am taking this drug treatment program very seriously,” he said in a statement, and UFC president Dana White and the promotion itself issued supportive statements of their own. As it turnsout, though, according to his mother, Jones checked out of rehab after just one day.
