Dana White says he wakes up every day wondering what’s going to go wrong, but I bet he didn’t expect to get a call on Saturday informing him that his light heavyweight champ and squeaky clean posterboy was booked for DUI. Jon Jones crashed his vehicle into a pole at 5am in the morning this weekend and was bailed out by his mom a few hours later.
Jones walked (or at least staggered) away without injury. Not so lucky was his 2012 Bentley Continental GT – a car that costs a quarter of a million dollars. I guess when you’ve got a high performance piece of equipment like that, slamming the engine into a pole basically FUBARs the whole thing because it’s apparently a write off.
All this is extra surprising since up until now it was generally believed that Jones – like his best bud Jesus – was incapable of erring or making mistakes. Afterwards, many fans flocked to the internet to celebrate his outing as the two-faced fake they always suspected him to be. The richest / most ironic Jon Jones quote being thrown around: “I think they trust that I will never make them look bad. You never have to worry about me getting a DWI or doing something crazy. I think I’m a good company guy.”
When reached for comment, Rashad Evans said ‘I’m praying for him.’ Ha! Not really. But see how dickish that sounds when you turn it around? It’s holier than thou crap like that which has everyone so thoroughly amused by this whole situation. This is a guy who once distanced himself from Muhammad Ali comparisons because Ali was a ‘flawed’ person. Insert something here about motes, eyes, logs, yada yada yada.
After the jump, more media from the crash.
Years from now people will make pilgrimages to Upstate New York to visit the pole Saint Bones martyred his Bentley upon.
Gordo, j’taime.
i’d like to thank my lord and savior jesus christ, without him none of this is possible.
Him and A Silva are just super fake. If Jones has to say that he ‘tries to be a good person’ in every fucking interview then it may be because he’s NOT. What it really means is ‘I’ll put on a typical good guy front’ whenever I can.
Good thing people are wising to that now. Although the die hard fans will never open their eyes and see the truth.
inb4 ‘U just haterzzzz cus he super good dog’
I definitely do not approve of drinking and driving.
…under 45 miles and hour.
But around 60-65 fucking rules!
You know those lines that tell you what lane your in?
There’s like 5-6 times as many.
You can just pick you favorite one.
And you have to stick your whole head out of the window and really get that wind blowing in your face!
You feel just like superman!
I almost feel sorry for the people who have never put forth the effort to truly taste the nectar of life.
But the lord rewards those who take the initiative.
Eh, not really all that unexpected from a 24 year old.
You didn’t really believe that he was perfect did you?
Although I dont see how it should be a shame to try to be the best that you can.
Guess what, he’ll be buying another Bentley, and some people will still be driving an ’88 toyota for the rest of their lives.
^ Yeah…..High school girls like Rashad Evans and Chael Sonnen and Dan Henderson…
Don’t you fucking get it? The outrage is not that he did a DUI, it’s that he pretends he’s not that kind of person. For fuck’s sake, he even said it in his ‘company man role model’ speech. And if they wanna be a role model then they gotta expect hate when they do stupid shit like that.No one would care if Leben gets a DUI, cos he doesn’t PRETEND to be a role model.
