Sean O'Malley reacted to Jon Jones' arrest in the latest episode of his podcast uploaded to his YouTube channel.

Jon Jones was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 24. This happened just a few hours after he was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame for his first fight against Alexander Gustafsson.

While reacting to this news on The BrO'Malley Show, 'Sugar' said:

"Speaking of looking good and steps ahead and just dominant. Jon Jones is 1-0 this year, that's f***** up... it sucks. I don't feel like I'm in a position to even judge. I don't know what's going on in his mind or I don't know what's going on in his life. Like obviously he shouldn't have done that. Obviously that's f***** up, obviously he knows that. Dude when you're drunk, it's not your true self. You're f****** drunk dude... like dude, who knows what he's dealing with? Not okay, 100%. Should definitely get punished for it. I don't know if he's necessarily a piece of s*** bad guy. He needs help dude… you can't beat on your boo."
