UFC has acknowledged that Jones is in custody & they tell me, as of right now, they don't expect to provide any further statements tonight.

FightLand is claiming they have confirmed that the fight is off. 

Will wait on further confirmation.

My guess is that Jones gets suspended for an indefinite amount of time and stripped of the title.

Therefore, the winner of DC/Bader will fight Rumble for the new LHW UFC championship.

I do hope they give AJ  a shot at the title when Jones is stripped.  Cormier or Bader deserves it and whomever does not get it, gets another opponent for that fight night.

Somewhat related, in that it involves Jon Jones. Apparently Jones made this video that got posted on an unaffiliated Youtube channel yesterday.

I think it's more likely they try to keep two title fights on 187, even if it means shifting Cormier out of the June 11 Bader fight and into the Interim title fight with Rumble. He's already in training camp; this would just push the fight up by three weeks for him. Could be cutting it close, but depending on how in-shape he's in, could be a good move if he wants a chance at a belt.

I just really want the Rumble fight to happen, he's the one guy I think has a chance against Jon and would win. I would personally like part of his punishment to be taking the Rumble fight without pay and goes to jail soon after. I'm not so sure about stripping him just because it's weird when such a dominant champion doesn't lose the belt in a fight. I guess it depends on how long he's in jail for, I'm thinking he won't get as much time as a regular nobody would get.

Oh man, this sucks. Dude can't catch a break. I like him as a fighter. He's extremely talented. He just can't get his stuff sorted out. Reminds me a lot of Jason Miller. I know the circumstances and situations are different, but they remind of each other in the sense that they're their own enemies and are auto-destroying their own careers.

Our story has been updated again with Jon Jones’ mugshot http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/4/27/8506257/jon-jones-turns-himself-into-albuquerque-police-custody-on-felony 




 awwww....  much too nondescript for a mug shot.  I was thinking more something like this

If he was just recking his own ****, I wouldn't judge him too harshly. When you hit a ******* pregnant woman and leave her there, then return to get your cash out of the glovie, I'm just about done. Everyone is redeemable, but he's going to have to earn it. That's some sociopathic behavior. Hard to empathize with a person who has no empathy.

The only ones who benefit from Jones getting stripped are the fighters in the division. That at least gives them a chance at winning, namely guys like Cormier, Rashad, Rampage, Shogun, etc. who he's already beat handily.

I also wouldn't have picked Rumble over him, as Jones has dominated every opponent he's fought (except for Gus and yeah, I know Rumble knocked him out), but still picking anyone over Jones at the moment would seem awkward and it's something that always comes up.


Gus is the only one so far who was close to beating him, so he doesn't benefit as much as the others, but he's still benefited as he could probably win a way around a second with Rumble for the title if Jones is stripped.
