Jon Jones may have resolved his legal issues stemming from September 25th arrest but his public image is nowhere near recovering. For Jones, complete absence of self awareness seems to be a critical failure. Jones had dragged himself into another controversy when he slammed Chael Sonnen for his “5 citations”.
Now Sonnen isn’t really one to get arrested often – but similar to Jones one of his alleged victims was a female. But there the similarities stop, because Sonnen was reportedly acting on behalf of his wife.
Brendan Schaub revealed as much, after allegedly having a talk with Sonnen:
“This is not a case of Chael hitting his wife like Jon [Jones] did. I think they dropped the charges. This is not a case of Chael Sonnen being high and wrecking his Bentley with strippers in the car. This is not the case of Chael domestic violence in any facet. And I think everyone should hold their judgement to get more details.”
“Chael Sonnen was obviously working and he was with his wife and his wife is a f*cking saint and also a dime piece. And some drunk guy with his girl kept making comments about his wife, saying about her t**s, her a**, right in front of him. Well, play stupid games, win stupid prizes, cause you are talking and disrespecting one of the toughest guys on the planet and definitely one of the toughest ever to compete in the UFC or Bellator for that matter. And you’re doing it in front of his face, then there’s gonna be repercussions. And any guy that wanted to do that for their girl/ladies you got a girlfriend.”
Now UFC lightweight Dan Hooker added his 5 cents worth:
Meanwhile Jones has been trying to save his reputation by sharing a wholesome video of him having dinner with his girlfriend/alleged victim and having the kids answer trivia about the couple.
