Last May, after overcoming some early knockdowns at the hands of Anthony Johnson, Daniel Cormier took Johnson down and choked him out in the third round, winning the vacant UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. It was vacant because a month earlier, Jon Jones had been stripped of the title due to his connection with a hit-and-run.
In an extended feature by Mike Bohn of Rolling Stone Jon Jones discussed his past struggles and current efforts to move past them; specifically, how he didn't take fighting as seriously as he should have why he is now.
