Jon vs Tom Will Happen - Fake Retirement

[Tone]

The retirement was just to cover up the newest legal troubles. The story was buried for months and soon as a reporter get a hold of it, Jon surprises everyone by announcing his retirement. Dana announces it at the post fight presser in Baku at 2AM...

Instantly, all the media coverage is only about the retirement.

Waits 3 weeks, announces desire to return.

No one is talking about the hit and run.

UPDATE: Since there seems to be a lot of debate about what happened during the arrest and it being just a car accident he forgot to provide insurance for. Here is full video of the arrest which includes a pantless young woman who accused him of driving the car and fleeing, Jones calling in clearly drunk/high/both to start making vague death threats to a cop and alluding to having already murdered someone this year.

It's a very bad look and understandable why you would want to avoid this hitting the news. That so many people on a MMA forum don't know the pretty crazy details proves my point that his retirement cover up worked.



UPDATE 2: He's already back.

Some of you are really still clinging hard to this.

The GOAT deserves his rest after that brutal hit and run he had to endure.

So many hardships. God has truly blessed him

Jon is charged with the failure to leave insurance information at the scene of an accident involving only property damage. The maximum penalty is technically a $300 fine and 90 days in jail, but that's only because that's the maximum for all New Mexico driving offenses classified as misdemeanors that don't specify some other maximum; among such offenses, this charge is particularly trivial and unlikely to involve jail time.

The idea that Jones needed to retire to deal with this is more absurd than the idea that Jones should be allowed to keep his driver's license.

Name checks out to make up a false story. Arizona??

Jon is being charged for a hit a run and the crime happened in New Mexico.

1. TS has the order of events wrong. It's already been confirmed that the reporter discovered the legal issue after Dana announced Jones's retirement.
2. Jones "retired" simply because he doesn't want the Aspinall smoke. Or, more to the point, he wants the ability to pick easy matchups.

who fucking cares either way, it's a pontless fight that doesn't mean anything.

Another day on Sherdog, another Jon Jones thread.

Is normal.

 

[KungFuCow]

I hope Tom makes him go to the back of the line.

No. He really thinks he can get a suitable legends fight at White house. And he loved the attention also.

I don't think leaving the scene of an accident is the big problem for Jones here.
I think it's more about ditching a lady who's tripping balls in the passenger seat with no pants on and isn't your baby Momma.

Damn the Jon Jones 5D chess theories are back!

You might be right.

In fact, I look at Jones returning to the testing pool as a possible sign that he's reached a plea deal for his July 24th arraignment. If he went to trial, he was potentially looking at real jail time. But usually he pays big lawyers a bunch of money to strike a plea deal for community service and a suspended sentence.

Teflon Jon might have struck again.
