Dana White Had A Hilarious Reaction To ‘Dumb’ Jon Jones’ Latest Arrest

With news arriving this morning that former UFC champion Jon Jones had been released from jail following a plea deal where he admitted to a plea deal and received anger management and driver management courses in addition to 60 hours extra community service, UFC president Dana White has finally spoken up on the subject.

In an interview with TMZ Sports, White described Jones’ mindset throughout his early days as a “nice guy” champion, saying that it just wasn’t him and we’re no getting the byproduct of that:

“”I don’t think Jon Jones is ever going to be the Jon Jones that people expect him to be,” White said. “Jon is gonna do Jon. I think that Jon tried so hard to play the good guy for so long, it drove him crazy. And Jon is just gonna be Jon now.”

Indeed Jon is gonna ‘do Jon,’ as his lengthy public arrest record over the past year would indicate. Jones was ticketed for five misdemeanor citations including drag racing in Albuquerque last week, offense not stringent enough to land in jail had he not already been on probation for hitting a 25-year-old pregnant woman last April and running the scene only to return to reportedly grab a stack of cash.

A prior violation of his probation was also overlooked in January when he was caught going 75 miles per hour in a 35 mile-per-hour zone and failed to produce his driver’s license, registration, or insurance, but it was used as a warning when Jones agreed to more community service and to not get any further citations.

But obviously he did, and when he failed to inform his probation officer of the police contact, he was jailed in the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center for the past two days. That may have been at least in part due to the fact that he got into a war of words with the policeman where he called the officer a “f****** liar” and a “pig” (via TMZ):

And while Jones may have acted a bit rash by calling the traffic officer names, it also seemed that the policeman wasn’t nearly as professional as he could have been, something that will go on trial when Jones reportedly fights the traffic citations in court.

White, however, had one hilariously simple (and obvious) solution for Jones.

Not surprisingly, White stated that you jsut can’t mouth off to the police regardless of what they did wrong, because it just isn’t going to work out in your favor, and certainly not if you have a track record like Jones:

“When I get pulled over by the police, I’m the most polite human being you’ve ever met in your life,” White said.

“There’s no upside to talking back to the police. It’s the dumbest thing you can ever do, especially if you’re in Jon Jones’ position.

Still, it looks as if Jones will remain on schedule and battle his longtime rival Daniel Cormier in the main event of April 23, 2016’s UFC 197 from Las Vegas; that is, if he can stay out of trouble long enough to make it there.
