'Disappointed' UFC issues statement on Jon Jones, 'concerned' about 'Bones' behavior during traffic stop

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was "disappointed" to learn that former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones could not keep himself out of the headlines just a few weeks ahead of his UFC 197 pay-per-view (PPV) title fight, especially considering he was recently taken off disciplinary suspension for last year's hit-and-run.

That's according to the statement UFC released on Thursday (March 31, 2016), just a few hours after "Bones" was scheduled to be released from county jail, a place he spent the past couple of days after violating terms of his existing probation (more on that here).
