UFC legend Ken Shamrock pens open letter to Jon Jones: 'Allow Christ to be your strength and guiding light'

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones was stripped of his 205-pound strap and suspended indefinitely in the wake of his felony hit-and-run accident last Sunday in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Following his latest public relations nightmare, "Bones" promised to do some "soul searching" and will now have to answer to the court for his latest transgression. I'm sure it will be a very challenging (and costly) few months for the embattled fighter.

Shammy to the rescue!

UFC Hall of Famer and one of the very first superstars of mixed martial arts (MMA), Ken Shamrock, has used his own trials and tribulations as motivation for Jones to turn the ship around and start sailing in the right direction, both personally and professionally.
