Agent Says Jon Jones May Never Fight Again

Jon "Bones" Jones is--or was--one of the best fighters in the UFC. After being involved in a hit and run recently he was stripped of his belt and suspended by Dana White. The case is still ongoing, but according to what his agent is saying we may never see him step inside the Octagon ever again.

While that sucks for the sport when you consider what he has been through of late that might not be a bad idea.

After his last fight he tested positive for drugs and even entered rehab, but he checked himself out a day later. After the accident he fled from the scene, but eventually turned himself in to authorities. Regardless of how the case turns out Jones may be done fighting.

"It could very well be the last time we've seen Jon Jones in the Octagon," Kawa said on the MMA Hour on Monday. "I think Jon Jones is gonna focus on Jon Jones. I think he's gonna take the time to do whatever he's gotta do. And if it's the last time we've seen him fight, it's the last time we've seen him fight. And I'm OK with that."

That doesn't sound like a bad idea from a personnel level. When you have demons that are winning you need to take a step back in order to deal with them.

Of course that sucks for the UFC, but the man has to take care of the man before he can be any good for the sport (or anything else for that matter).
