UFC Fighter Jon Jones “Wiser” After DWI Arrest

UFC fighter Jon Jones has said that his arrest for DWI back in May 2012 has made him a “wiser” man, among other things. On May 19, 2012, Jones was involved in a single vehicle accident after crashing his 2012 Bentley into a telephone pole around 5 am in Binghamton, New York. Jones is said to have suffered only minor injuries and was arrested for DWI. Jones remained relatively quiet about the incident, only tweeting “God is good,” shortly after the accident. Now, Jones has opened up a little more about the accident and its profound effect on his life.

The UFC Light Heavyweight Champion said that he felt like he’s grown from the experience and is “wiser, stronger, smarter because of all that stuff.” Jones has seen his share of ups and downs during his career in the UFC, ranging from a cancelled UFC event as well as another vehicular accident in 2011 that resulted in a woman driving the other vehicle being carried away in a stretcher. It would appear to Jones’ fans that he has not only learned first hand the serious consequences of driving drunk, but is grateful to have not lost the chance to continue his successful career in the UFC. Jon Jones concluded by saying, “I’m alive to see 2013 and I’m blessed and I’m grateful.”
