As revealed earlier this week, UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones has been arrested for DWI and firearms offences. Jones has since been released from custody but will have to reappear in court on April 8th. In light of this news, many professional fighters have been heavily critical of Jones. In fact, Jones’ former teammate Diego Sanchez launched an explicit attack on him over twitter, whilst middleweight champion Israel Adesanya expressed his disbelief with a meme on Instagram.
Despite this, many of Jones’ UFC colleagues have sprung to his defence.
