Anthony Smith: ‘I promise you, Jon Jones is not going to change until he wants to change’

Long before he was a top ranked fighter in the UFC, the 31-year-old light heavyweight was battling with a lot of personal demons that led him down a path of self-destruction.

Drinking and partying eventually led Smith to a drunk driving accident that landed him in the hospital with no memory of what happened the previous night. That ended up serving as rock bottom for Smith, who started to turn things around in the aftermath of that horrific moment.

Just recently, Jones was arrested for aggravated DWI, negligent use of a firearm, carrying an open container in his vehicle and driving without proof of insurance.
