10 UFC Fighters Who Were Publicly Shamed For Their Actions

Jon Jones

Former undisputed and current interim light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones is a frustrating young man. He possesses all the skills and talent of an all-time great fighter, as his record shows, but it’s what he does outside the octagon that lands him on this list.

Here’s a rundown: Said he would be a role model and never get caught doing something stupid like a DUI, then gets caught for DUI when writing off his expensive car on a joyride with two hookers.

Started the infamous UFC 178 media day brawl with Daniel Cormier, failed an out-of-competition drug test for cocaine, got wasted and wrecked a rental car while on a night out. Jones fled the scene leaving a pregnant woman injured and was dragged over hot coals by the media for months.

Lucky to escape jail time, ‘Bones’ later admitted he was a cannabis addict, but the damage was done by this point. Jones had been stripped of his title and did not return until UFC 197 against Ovince St-Preux.
