Dana White to future UFC champions: Take after Ronda Rousey, not Jon Jones

Being an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) titleholder requires a lot more than a rigorous work ethic, training and diet regimen, and honed mixed martial arts (MMA) skills.

With the title comes the limelight, and with the limelight comes all of the temptations, the haters on social media, the adoring fans, the pressure, and more.

No one ever said it would be easy to be a UFC champion, and former light heavyweight kingpin Jon Jones' has learned that first hand during his fall from grace.

From crashing his Bentley, to getting into a scuffle with Daniel Cormier, to testing positive for cocaine, and most recently being charged with a hit-and-run that could earn him up to three years in jail time, "Bones" has done just about everything right inside the cage, and everything wrong outside of it.
