The incident, which involved an alleged assault in a strip club, has been blown out of all proportion according to Jones and his boss Dana White. However, that didn’t stop many fans and commentators hitting out at Jones and his repeated misdemeanors outside the cage.
On his most recent episode of TMZ Sports show, The Hollywood Beatdown, former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley has spoken out about how Jones is treated by the MMA world – using Conor McGregor for comparison.
In case you didn’t know…
Woodley has had run-ins with The Notorious previously; most notably when the pair had a spat backstage at the UFC 205 weigh-ins in 2016.
Woodley is never one to keep his opinions of other fighters to himself, and McGregor is never one to react too kindly to the opinions of others. However, the Irishman is yet to respond to Woodley’s comments.
The heart of the matter
Despite speaking out for Jones on this occasion, Woodley was keen to point out that he won’t say the light-heavyweight champ is completely innocent without knowing all the facts.
What’s next?
Last week’s allegations against Jones appear to be losing steam with every passing day, with Dana White explicitly stating ‘Jones is going to be fine’ just last week.
Woodley, meanwhile, is sidelined with a long-term injury, with no date for a return set in stone.
