No need to strip Jon Jones of UFC belt right now

The whirlwind came Sunday. Jon Jones was out of UFC 187. Cocaine was involved. He was involved in a car accident. A pregnant sustained an injury. Police had him in custody. He wasn’t in custody. There was no cocaine. Jones wasn’t a suspect. And then he was.

The details have been distilled down to this: A three-car accident; Jon Jones name on rental papers; Jones’ car running a red light; a police officer identifying Jones running away from scene; a pregnant woman with a broken arm; Jones returning to the scene to grab cash from the car before taking off once more; a marijuana pipe in the car.
