After a weekend full of tweet jokes, photoshopped gifs and caustic hate filled messages there's nothing I can say about this Jon Jones DUI incident that hasn't already been said 1437 times over via Twitter, Facebook, or any of the multitude of MMA forums on the Interwebz. Until this morning there had been no official word released by the champ regarding his weekend brush with the law and brush with a very dangerous situation. Today at around 9am Jones issued an apology to his friends and fans via his Facebook page. Here's the text:

"Man I haven't added anyone new to my Facebook page in like three years and right now I'm so glad that I haven't. It has literally been sickening to have so many people try to kick me while I'm down. At the same time, I totally understand, I gave them the leeway to. I screwed up, big time. Just needed to say thank you to all you guys for being amazing friends/supporters.
Always having to deal with so many critics, haters and fickle mma fans, I almost forgot how strong of a home base I had (607 and people that knew me before I was a champion fighter). Although the hell that will come with this hasn't even started yet, I want you guys to know how much better you've all made me feel, not only about this situation but about life, everything. It's good to feel that people are there and care. With that being said, I felt I should apologize to you first.
I'm truly sorry to those of you that I may have embarrassed in any way, to those of you with kids that I may have let down. I will prove to them as well as to myself, that no matter what is happening in life, we can always work our way back and make things even better than before. Reading you guys uplifting comments was a great reminder for me to not give up on who I am or all the hateful people. I'm not gonna allow this situation to outweigh the positive. I love you guys right back and I promise to make things right. PS sorry about the terrible grammar :)"

Whether you love him or hate him-or whether you call it a mistake, a lack of good judgement, or an absolute **** up-this is definitely going to be a huge life lesson for the very young champ and the most important thing to note is thankfully no one was hurt in this accident. Things could have turned out much worse than they did.

Update: Here's a screenshot from Bones' Facebook page of the statement.

It's not necessarily the mistake you've made but how you rebound from it that defines your character as a person.

As an advocate of marijuana I don't agree w/ all of Jon's beliefs. That being said I was charged w/ a DUI when I was 20yrs old + realize that it is an easy mistake to fall into. A decade later + I have learned from my lesson + I avoid scenarios where I'd need to drink/drive these days.

Yeah he's rich + on the top of the sport but this is a major blow to his ego, I can guarantee that. First offense will be a 6 mo. suspension of his drivers license.

The true test is how he responds from this incident. I'm hoping for the best b/c he's so talented + I've seen things from his perspective.

I'm not gonna kick the man while he's down. DUI is a serious issue, and should be dealt the hardest to those in the spotlight imo. It's sad when a loved one passes away due to another person's irresponsibilit y and foolishness. The kids look up to Jon, and I feel that there should be something done to make them aware of the dangers of driving drunk. Most new-age MMA fans are still in their teens or early twenties, so having Jon do a couple seminars about the dangers of DUI should help this situation. That apology from Jon won't be accepted yet til something more drastic is done.

People might say that it's just a little mistake, but if you knew someone killed due to some asshole's poor judgement you might reconsider your stance on this situation...

Well said, I think this is what a lot of people fail to realize when they brush it off as a small problem.

Drinking and driving kills, he got lucky this time. If he had totaled his Bentley into another vehicle he could very well be looking at manslaughter charges right now and not a DUI.

I agree.
He is a young guy.
He clearly made a mistake he cannot take back no matter how many times he apologizes about it.

Yet, all these sanctimonious cocksuckers on this board act as if they have never done, nor had anyone they know, do this same mistake.

Obviously, only time will tell if he truly regrets this (it will be known if he avoids doing this in the future).

Either way, I will give him the benefit of the doubt that he has learned a valuable lesson and will avoid situations in the future.

I doubt he learned his lesson. He drives like an ahole and is gonna kill someone.

From police report:
On 11/24/11 I observed a black Bentley turn Northbound on Jefferson NE from Westbound McCleod NE. The vehicle came around the corner sideways and tires squealing. The vehicle continued North at a high rate of speed and pulled into the Fantasy World (strip club) parking lot. I conducted as traffic stop and contacted the driver, identified as Jonathan Jones. I ran Jones drivers license through MVD and it was suspended. I then ran his drivers license through NCIC and they confirmed his it was suspended. Jones was cited for loss of traction and suspended drivers license. Jones vehicle was towed from the scene.

I don't think he gets it. People aren't jealous haters or just wanting to kick him when he's down, he fucked up big and did something inexcusable and socially unaccptable. Add to that he was bragging a month ago in an interview how he'd never do something dumb and get a DUI, people have a right to hate someone that self-rightious and egocentric.

He could simply have wrote it off and not bothered to apologize to the public at large.

Perhaps he did...

I will give him the benefit of the doubt that he is truly embarrassed by what has occurred and publicly apologized about it solely of his own free will.

What a half-assed apology. He deserved to be kicked when he was down. He drove drunk and was lucky he didn't kill someone. You don't get any special treatment when that happens -- you deserve every bit of disgust and hate that was sent your way.

Apparently, Jon Jones is the only person to have ever driven drunk...

True, he is lucky he did not kill anyone but for everyone to center all their hate on one sole person is incredibly stupid.

Plus, does it really improve him and/or inspire him (or anyone in else in a similar situation) to change their behavior by reading a bunch of hate based messages? Probably not.

As said before, his future actions will speak volumes of, or if, he truly learned anything from this drunk driving incident.

His future action was posting a half-assed apology on FACEBOOK where he seemed more upset about the hate that he was getting than the fact that he arrested for driving drunk. So in that regard, I suppose his words and actions spoke equally loud.

And yes, I think being condemned and insulted by a ton of people is a pretty clear message that that shit don't fly.

I'll forgive him when he stops acting like the fucking chosen one, sent by his god to covert all of us sinners into worthy slaves. He might not ever say that that is what he's doing, but it sure as hell seems like it to me. Unfortunately, this incident has done nothing to change his personality from what I can tell. He is only going to be drawn further into religion, and probably not in the good way, I'm bracing for a lot more thank you jeebus after fight interviews. He's also not abandoning the high and mighty perspective or, most importantly, the fakeness. He's gotta quit being so goddamn fake. Every word he says is forced and cliche and doesn't sound genuine. How can I know that you're sorry for what you've done if everything you say sounds like it could come out of a B-level actor playing a dishonest lawyer?

That apology was all about him, No mention that drink driving is wrong or the potential victims of his actions.

Do some research before posting stories like this. That is not Jon Jones' official Facebook. He has a link to his FB profile on his official site, but it can be found right here.

... Wait WTF? Half that apology was about the "haters".

A true hater in this situation would be someone that's had one of their loved ones die because of a DUI and places blame on any and all DUI'ers.

Am I wrong in thinking true remorse would've been shown by accepting he could of killed someone? .. Not by saying he's not gonna let that get him down. wtf....

I'm one of those many people who acknowledge his talents but can't stand his character. I really don't like the guy but how does that make me jealous of him? I dislike his fakeness. But I wouldn't want to be the guy and if I wanted to be jealous of a rich person, I would choose somebody with more money to be jealous of.

My only concern in this whole debacle is that if Dan Henderson wins it'll be put down to Jones being "distracted" or "unfocussed". I'm not even hating on Jones when I say every ounce of me wants a Hendo win.

the guy's a cunt.

he personally uses his illiterate mouth to prop himself up as the barometer of morality in mma. He's said he is a role model to younger people. He's stated that he's a company-man and believes people should learn from him. This elitist fake can fuck off.

If he was a normal mma fighter, not some jumped-up religious twat, this wouldn't be too bad. I mean a mistake, yet it could have been forgiveable. Jon Jones created a standard of 'how to behaviour' that he berated and arrogantly chanted about whenever given mic space... and typically turns out he doesn't hold himself up to the same standards.


TWATTTTTTTTTTTTTT

If jealousness is the reason I hate that fucker, why do I love the shit out of Anderson Silva?... He's got more talent and more money, yet I love that guy.

According to you I should hate him, the fact that I don't suggests that your logic is slightly flawed there, MR. CAPSLOCK.

Judging people and calling someone "worthless in the eyes of GOD" works better when you don't call people "fucks who will never amount to nothing" and "disgusting". Your views on God seem a little ass backwards to me. I'm glad Jones inspires you to insult people while telling Jones to stay humble and blessed. You sound like a good christian.

Jon Jones has a great skill set and is a tremendous fighter, no doubt about it. But I'm not a fan, I don't like the way he portrays himself as some kind of saint and all time great. He beat top competition but the curtain will fall someday and then we shall see the TRUE Jon Jones when he loses. He lives in his own high right now and that's good for him, it really is. But if you watch his interviews and listen to what he says, I won't call it fake, but I won't call it sincere either. If Rashad says he's a fake I understand what he means. Reading his "apology" has a negative vibe. Not the positiveness his "tries" to spread around. He talks about "haters" and kicking him when he's down, oh poor Johnny, here's a hanky, I wiped my ass with it first so it might match with your breath. I hope Dan K.O.'s mister glass chin.

The fake ass cult of personality Jon Jones has crafted for himself, preaching a wholesome image a holier-than-tho u persona got busted doing something that completely spit in the face of everything we thought we knew about him. Fake ass posers like Jones ALWAYS get caught. His fake-ness bit him in his own ass, like it always does. Some fighters we hope for to stay undefeated, but for some we hope they lose, like Jones. Why? He is what he radiates, fake positive energy.

I love how even in his apology he's pushing the blame off on his fans. Like MMA fans should be perfectly ok with him being a hypocrite and a phony asshole. Seriously, his APOLOGY to his fans is actually just him criticizing how they changed face on him when it turns out, shock of all shocks, that he's completely full of shit.

LOL at people defending this guy and claiming everyone is just a hater.

This apology shows where he is at mentally, and it isn't that shocking, either. He's a child and has no clue how to handle the real world. There is a reason why this was taken down; he apologizes, which admits guilt. I bet his legal counsel shit a fucking brick over that. Maybe Malki thought it was a good idea?

Outside of that causing him more problems down the line, the apology was just him reading the narrative being spun about him and not being happy, instead of letting the professionals handle it, he just had to get his voice into the mix. It came off as childish and immature as it could be. Being a public figure means that people will be quick to raise you up, but then when you are out of their reach, they will just want to tear you right back down. In this case, people are upset because he literally did something that steals lives on a daily basis here in the United States, and instead of being sorry, he is sorry for himself and that people are saying bad things about him.

I'm from upstate ny and I followed Jon jones through college wrestling. And have seen every single UFC fight that he had been in even his b s lose to Hamil. It's funny how all you nobody's on here are quick to criticize because of a dwi. Why don't u go to the grocery store pick up the weekly news paper because I guarantee you 5-10 people got picked up for dwi last week from your area. I'm sure everyone on here writing has had a friend or relative get picked up for dwi. Jon bones jones is one of the best fighters alive and has nothing to be down about. So everyone of you fast food employees that responded or are sitting in a dead end job making minimum wage go fuck your selves
