Jon Jones Admits To Past Marijuana And Alcohol Addiction

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has been called many things throughout his illustrious mixed martial arts career, but cokehead should not be one of them despite testing positive for the drug just 31 days prior to his successful title defense against Daniel Cormier at UFC 182.

However, you can call Jones a pothead and an alcoholic. Correction, you could have called Jones that in the past.

In what all accounts seems to be the most candid and raw interview Jones has ever conducted, the troubled 28-year-old revealed to Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com that he has never had a cocaine problem, but was addicted to marijuana and alcohol.
