Morning Report: Jon Jones says his recent DWI arrest ‘has done a lot for me. It set me free in so many ways’

Jon Jones currently finds himself in a standoff with the UFC, and from the sounds of it, he’s as happy as he’s ever been.

The past few months, the UFC light heavyweight champion has been engaging in a very public falling out with the UFC over a monetary dispute. It started with Jones being unhappy with negotiations for a potential superfight with Francis Ngannou, specifically that the UFC was refusing to up his pay for such a bout. That grievance then led to a larger issue between Jones and the UFC with Jones declaring that he had been underpaid for years.
