Yeah it’s been going on for years. It’s weird. Not sure how it started (Dana) but it’s dumb and not in The best interests of the fighters. The fact 99% obliged is crazy to me.

The fact Ariel is still successful despite that and Dana white trying to ruin him at the same time really shows how popular he is. He’s so good for the sport but Ali and mostly Dana are so in their feelings they don’t care. Some of the “journalists” at events asking questions really are an embarrassment to the sport, meanwhile Ariel is forbidden to be there.


Everything about Kayla is awesome.

It's just so weird to me.

"I'm a professional fighter, but I can't give interviews on the platform that gives me THE biggest rub because my twerp of a manager, who makes millions off me, told me I'm not allowed to."

Troubled soul.

This sport seems to be a magnet to those types of people though. The whole reckless violence thing being celebrated and all.

NBK with one of the best MMA careers ever. Dude was a bad mother ****. We're seeing Robbie and Diaz dust off the gloves one last time but they're about cooked as well. One of the best eras in a division ever (Lawler, Carlos, Rory) and they're all winding down now. So it goes.

I feel like Joey B should be a first-ballot hall of famer if only because he's a sub 155-er (and an Alpha Maler) from the 00's who is by all accounts an unbelievably nice guy. That's way more rarified a combination than finding a French Canadian really good at karate and wrestling. Get this guy a plaque.

Lmao. This is all we need to post to know what happened.

I don’t even know the details or the story, I just saww a headline that he was arrested, after I watched him in an interview saying “i don’t drink much alcohol or party anymore.”

Just his stock standard trip to Vegas

Jon Jones allegedly pulled his fiancee's hair and then headbutted a police car, leaving a dent in the hood and chipping paint, during his Las Vegas arrest early Friday morning, TMZ Sports has learned.

According to a Vegas Metro PD arrest report, cops were called to Caesars Palace around 5:08 AM for a "domestic disturbance" in a hotel room ... involving a white female who was "bleeding from her nose/mouth" and a "black male adult who is a professional MMA fighter."

When police arrived, they spotted Jon walking near the hotel, where they stopped and detained him.

Cops say 34-year-old Jones became "irate and smashed his head onto the front hood of the LVMPD patrol vehicle," leaving a medium-sized dent, as well as chips in the paint.

While handcuffed, police say Jones experienced a wide range of emotions. At one point, cops say he threatened to sue the department for handcuffing him on the biggest night of his life.

FYI, Jones' 2013 fight with Alexander Gustaffson was inducted in the UFC's Hall of Fame only hours before his arrest.

The officers also claim Jon joked about wanting to fight all the cops, to see if he could take them all on at the same time.

Police say they then interviewed the alleged victim, Jon's fiancée, Jesse, and the mother of his 3 kids, who claimed she was asleep when Jones came back to their room after a night out in Vegas with his friends.

Jesse told police "Jon came back and was not very happy." When they asked her if things turned physical, she replied "Umm not too physical but a little bit yeah."

When cops asked what she meant, Jesse said, "he touch the back of my head and pulled my hair a little bit but he did not hit me or anything."

However, cops said they noticed blood on her lip, which was also swollen. Jesse told cops it was because they were dry. Police also say they saw blood on her sweatshirt.

Cops checked Jon and Jesse's hotel room, and say they saw blood on the bedsheets.

When detectives were leaving the scene, they note Jesse was concerned about when Jon would be released from county jail.

As for who called the police, Jesse went down to a security booth to ask for an additional room key around 4:30 AM. A security guard said she saw blood on her person, and asked Jesse if she was okay. The guard claimed Jesse then began to cry and said she was scared to return to her room.

The guard then claims Jesse and Jon's youngest child said "can you call the cops?"

Jones -- who told police he never got physical his fiancée -- was ultimately arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery and felony tampering with a vehicle.

Jon has a court date scheduled next month.

I read all this and it just seemed like standard Jon fare until I read that his children were there. Sucks.

[cowboyronnie]

We can hate Jon all we want. But we should still doubt a cop telling us that a suspect rammed their own head into the hood of the car... There's a long history of self-injury while detained.

[Dupp]

Obviously “head butting” a police car is extremely suspicious but who gives a ****. Dudes beaten up his fiancée. With his kids there. Guys a piece of ****.

[NO-KG-AI]

You guys really think that it's that outlandish that a drunk/coked up Jon would headbutt a police car?

[cowboyronnie]

Do you think it's outlandish that cops would lie about a detainee's injuries?

He's 6'4". How does that even work? He folds at the waist like he's thrashing at a Black Flag concert?
