Agent: Jon Jones may never compete in MMA again

UFC fighter Jon Jones may never step inside the octagon again, according to his agent Malki Kawa per The Sporting News. UFC stripped Jones of his light heavyweight championship last week after he was arrested for a felony hit-and-run and the fighter is debating what he wants to do with his future.

"It could very well be the last time we've seen Jon Jones in the Octagon," Kawa said on the MMA Hour on Monday. "I think Jon Jones is gonna focus on Jon Jones. I think he's gonna take the time to do whatever he's gotta do. And if it's the last time we've seen him fight, it's the last time we've seen him fight. And I'm OK with that."

Jones also went to rehab earlier this year for cocaine after he failed a drug test.

"If he doesn't come back to the sport, it's because he doesn't want to come back to the sport," Kawa said. "If it was because of too much pressure? Could be. If it's because of the belt? Could be. If it's because the competition is too much, it could be. Whatever he decides is the reason why he won't come back to the sport, but it'll be solely on him. I'm not gonna blame anything or anyone for anything Jon Jones does. And no one, at the same token, can take credit for anything Jon Jones does. Everything that's Jon Jones' is Jon Jones'. The good, the bad and the ugly."

Sounds like PR to do some damage control for Jones' image, but it would be one of the craziest sports stories ever if this caused him to retire from fighting for good.

Mark your calendar now. May 23rd, we'll bring the real action. #UFC187 :mjlol: Still plenty of time for Weidman to get injured. Both these fights have the potential to suck so they shouldn't be so cocky. However, it hasn't stopped being hilarious seeing all these people everywhere with their memes, photoshops etc... Pathetic ass people and :salute: to Floyd for exposing all these haters.

They have been taking shots at Floyd all week despite the fact they had them all over their home page. And Dana had to use backdoor connections for press credentials even tho hes not even a journalist to get in. Oh yea speaking of exciting main events, that NO card is now headlined by Dan Henderson(destroyed by Moose) and Tim Boestch (destroyed by Lietes) :mjlol:

If Vick could return to nfl Jones should be able to return from this just a shame what will become of skills. Dude looked gangly even at his most efficient in his prime. Imagine how he's going to look a year or so removed from significant comp :scust:

bones to bellator to torture phil davis more
:whoa: Zuffa indefinite suspension is more a PR move to take the ufc out of the story. Not a 'you really fuked up Jones and we are punishing you' type deal. There is no monetary gain in going to bellator the only reason to so is if you have been exiled by zuffa before you are ready to call it quits
