Jones’ complete post can be read below.

Time has a way of putting things into perspective. One year ago today I knocked out Daniel Cormier to reclaim my light heavyweight title. It was the culmination of all the sacrifice and hard work put in on the road back to where I truly know I belong. That’s at the top...the only place I’ve ever dreamed of being. Turns out it wasn’t a forever moment but a fleeting one as two weeks later I find out on TMZ of all places my title has been stripped and I’m suspended once again. To go from the spotlight to darkness, and have everything taken away from me again was a hardship the public will never truly understand. It bent me but did not break me and I had to learn to fight in a different way. I’ve spent the last year living right and getting healthy, but much of that work was spent correcting and repairing my mental space. Call it weakness if you will but even the toughest individuals need assistance getting back on track. I’ll be back, and when I am it will be a more complete version than the world has ever seen. You have to turn the lemons life gives you into lemonade, and you have to take time to sit back and enjoy it. The struggles don’t define you. It’s how you handle them that determines who you are. Be good, enjoy the day and God bless.

DC is trying to hurry up and retire before JJ comes back. Jon Jones is the goat of all MMA at this point.

Before this thread makes it to 10 pages, I just want to say if you want to fighter bash take it to sherdog. That shit has no place and will not be tolerated at TMMAC.

"You have to turn the lemons life gives you into lemonade"

I'm fairly certain it wasn't Lemons causing his athletic and personal self-destruction; nor did "life" hand him Turinabol.

It was a tainted supplement. Time to move on from the hate.

I liked how he was in victory that night. All of the stuff he wrote above just comes off as the same rehashed lines from some tv drama series.
Ffs, just talk like a normal human being and not some bullshit character that you think is wise and mature.

Just by reading that, you can tell he’s a changed man.

Yeah, like he reads too many inspirational quotes from his FaceBook feed. Also, the guy is delusional.
