There may be a queue of people lining up to criticize Jon Jones following the UFC light heavyweight champion’s latest brush with the law, but you won’t find Michelle Waterson among them. UFC strawweight contender Waterson has known Jones for years, with the pair both longstanding members of the Jackson-Winkeljohn team in Albuquerque, N.M. When asked about Jones’ recent issues that saw him arrested on DWI and firearms charges, Waterson offered words of support, rather than criticism. “I love Jon and I wish the best for him and his family,” Waterson told MMA Junkie. “He’s done nothing but be really supportive of me, my career and my family, and the team.” Jones was arrested in the early hours of March 26 in Albuquerque and charged with aggravated DWI, negligent use of a firearm, possession of an open container, and no proof of insurance.
