Video: Anderson Silva tells Jon Jones to change 'everything' in his life, not return to UFC anytime soon

Jon Jones is in the midst of "soul-searching" after being arrested last month on felony hit-and-run charges in Albuquerque, N.M., and stripped of his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) world title (read full details here).

His training partner at Jackson/Wink Academy, Carlos Condit, recently revealed that Jones has been spotted at the gym even though "Bones" is suspended indefinitely from the promotion until his legal -- and personal -- issues are resolved.

That might not be the right move, though, according to former Middleweight champion Anderson Silva, who recently told TMZ.com that Jones should just forget about mixed martial arts (MMA) and "focus" on fixing his turbulent lifestyle.
