Jon Jones could of been ‘the LeBron of MMA’, laments UFC heavyweight

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has seen his in-cage accomplishments overshadowed by incidents away from the sport on multiple occasions. Most recently, after seeing his first fight with Alexander Gustafsson inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, Jones was arrested and charged with battery domestic.

Jones’ other legal problems include a hit-and-run incident that broke a pregnant woman’s arm, accusations of battery involving a waitress at a strip club, suspected negligent use of a firearm and a number of other driving offences.

Jones’ UFC career has also endured a few drawn out sagas involving banned substances and performance enhancing drugs.
