Lewis McKeever takes a look at Jon Jones’ recent run-in with the law and why the former light heavyweight champion is being unfairly demonized for his behavior.
Last week, on March 24th, Jon Jones was pulled over by an officer of the Albuquerque Police Department (APD) for allegedly competing in a drag race in a 35-mph zone.
"Bones", who has found himself in trouble with the law on several occasions in the past - the pound-for-pound #1 plead guilty to hit-and-run in September, was speeding 45-mph over the limit last month, and was arrested for driving under the influence in 2012 - has earned a reputation as the UFC's problem child and opened the floodgates for more criticism following his latest violation.
