And it will be for the real title, not interim. Jon Jones just messed up big time. I thought moving from New York to New Mexico would be better for him. But apparently not. He need to change his circle of friends because they clearly leading him down the wrong path. I hope he gets the help he needs.

Now far as Rumble vs DC, Rumble "should" be able to beat him with ease. But anybody can get caught in fighting, however I just don't think DC has the gas tank to keep up with Rumble.

I'm pumped because I think Rumble (one of my favorites) has a much better chance of beating DC than Jones.

Sucks for Jones, though. Could've went down as one of the greatest of all time and now he and his future is a giant question mark.

He still will. His transgressions don't change his accomplishments.

I'm still excited to see DC, but damn, this sucks. I know that he brought it on himself and all of that, but I was still very surprised to see the UFC strip him of his title. My Twitter feed was full of people calling for it, though. The pitchforks were out. UFC definitely seems to be trying to clean up their act as of late. I guess public perception matters now.

Much respect to the UFC for doing the right thing... however, selfishly I'm upset for two reasons 1) no Rumble vs. Bones 2) I really wanted to see Cormier fight in New Orleans and had already bought tickets.

Damn you Jon Jones for robbing me of both of those. Please go get help so that I can continue rooting against you in the octagon.

Reebok terminated their contract with Jones.

Maybe HE is that friend!

I can't stand him and would not be sad to never see him fight again. Bring on Rumble vs DC!!
