LAS VEGAS – Jon Jones has acknowledged that he has a drinking problem, and UFC president Dana White agrees. Jones was arrested and booked into jail by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department last Friday morning on charges of misdemeanor battery domestic violence and felony tampering with a vehicle. After disturbing details in the police report, which include leaving his fiancee bloodied following an alleged assault in a hotel room, emerged Tuesday morning, the former light heavyweight champion addressed the situation for the first time, claiming he has “too much trauma to consume alcohol” and that his brain “simply can’t handle it anymore.” Jones vowed to quit drinking, a decision White thinks should have been made a long time ago. “10 years ago. You’re late,” White told MMA Junkie and other media at the Dana White’s Contender Series 41 post-fight news conference.
