Former UFC Champ Jon Jones Finally Breaks His Silence

The 27-year-old MMA star was stripped of the light heavyweight title and suspended indefinitely by the UFC on Tuesday in the wake of a felony charge for an alleged hit-and-run, which occurred on Sunday.

Opening up for the first time since the incident, Jones apologized on Twitter and admitted he “had a lot of soul searching to do.”

Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down.

Jones turned himself in to police on Monday, after an off-duty police officer identified him at the scene of a three-car accident in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
