Less than 24 hours after being inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, Jon Jones was arrested in Las Vegas.

When asked about an update on the situation, UFC president Dana White said:

"I don't know. Obviously, we'll see how this plays out legally for him and where this ends up going. It's hard to bring this guy to Las Vegas for any reason. The city is not good for Jon Jones. And here we are again... It's like it's not even shocking anymore. When we bring him here, it's almost expected. You can't even get him in Las Vegas for less than 12 hours to induct him into the Hall of Fame. It's a problem. This guy has got a lot of demons, man. Lots of demons."

The UFC president went on to criticize 'Bones' for not mending his ways. White stated that the news of Jones getting arrested was 'not shocking' to him:

"It has become not shocking. It has almost become, 'Oh oh, he's in Vegas again, what's gonna happen today?' You wanna hope that the guy is better and that won't be the case, but he proves everytime he comes to this town that he can't handle this place."
