Demetrious Johnson feels bad for former two-time light heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones after he was arrested last week.
The No.2 UFC pound-for-pound fighter was put behind bars at the Clark County Jail in Nevada and charged with battery domestic violence against his fiance Jessie Moses.
He also tampered with a police vehicle during the arrest, which took place less than 12 hours after he was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame's Fight Wing.
Former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson has wished nothing but the best for Jon Jones and his family. During the latest episode of The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, 'Mighty Mouse' claimed that leaving alcohol would be best for 'Bones'.
"I want the best for Jon Jones and his family. I think he said it best. He has lot of demons about alcohol. I am hoping he can get past that and be a role model for all the children and dads out there, and also for his daughters. I wish him nothing but the best. We have always had nice interactions with each other. It's just unfortunate and sad," said Johnson.
