Jon Jones exits rehab after one night

January 13, 2015 by Jason Cruz 3 Comments

A Binghamton, New York station first reported that Jon Jones left rehab after just one night.  The report comes from Jones’ mother who spoke with WBNG’s Travis Eldridge.

The UFC light heavyweight champion is scheduled to be in attendance to watch his brothers Chandler and Arthur Jones play against each other in the AFC Championship game on Sunday afternoon in Foxboro, Massachusetts.  Coincidentally, he will be at the game while the UFC holds a Fight Night in Boston.

Jones’ mom stated that she was “glad” that her son was caught as it “stopped him in his tracks.”

The article states that despite the one night stay in rehab Jones is getting “more educated on the subject.”

Payout Perspective:

The news is surprising and one may only surmise that his stint in rehab amounted just to public relations.  Do you think the UFC, Dana White and Reebok are really pleased with Jones’ one night stay?  Unless Jones decides to re-admit himself and/or does something more than just “educate” himself, the rehab stint is hollow.

An aside to this news is that Jones will be at the Patriots/Colts game at Foxboro.  As we know, the game runs opposite UFC Fight Night 59 on FS1.  We will see if CBS picks up on the third Jones brother watching his other two playing.  Also, it will be interesting to see if someone attempts to interview Jones at the game.

    this is typical of an addict’s first time in rehab, especially when you are an entitled star. It will soon catch up with him if he truly has a problem. Look for other manifestations to pop their ugly head in JJ’s life. Stay tuned. Watch the UFC damage control spin this, only to hurt him in the long run.
