Dana White scheduled to meet with UFC champion Jon Jones tonight
Light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is en route to Las Vegas to meet with UFC president Dana White and UFC chairman/CEO Lorenzo Fertitta tonight. Obviously, the meeting will be centered on Jones’ DWI arrest on Saturday morning.
“It’s really sitting down and figuring out what is it you want to do,” White told the Herald before meeting with Jones. “You’re 24 years old, you could be a force in this sport for the next 10 years and go down as the greatest ever – beat everybody, do all this stuff, be the first guy to break through and get a Nike deal, the first guy to get Gatorade and all these other things. Do you want to be that guy or do you want to go the other way? You can go the other way, too, and you can be the total bad guy, make a few million here or there and then go tell everybody to go, ‘(Expletive) off.’ It’s no different whether it’s the UFC, boxing, the NBA, the NFL – it’s the guys who really focus and get their (stuff) together no matter how old you are, whether you’re 21 or 31. That’s what we’ve got to figure out where Jones is at and what he wants to do.” (Source).
