How the MMA community on Twitter reacted to the latest Jon Jones debacle

Denial, pain, anger and bargaining, depression, acceptance and cracking wise.

It hasn't been the best year for Jon Jones. The former UFC light heavyweight champion's 2015 has been shrouded in controversy. This week it emerged that Jones was arrested after being involved alleged hit-and-run in which a pregnant women suffered injuries. As a result, the UFC stripped him of his belt and suspended him indefinitely and replaced him with top contender Daniel Cormier in the main event at UFC 187 against Anthony Johnson. Earlier this year, the promotion revealed that the youngest UFC champion ever had tested positive for a cocaine metabolyte before his bout with Daniel Cormier. After serving one of the shortest rehab stints in history, it looked like Jones was set for a comeback. However, with this latest controversy, we might not see Jones inside the Octagon again for a very long time. The reaction to the news on social media was extremely varied with some offering their support for Jones while others labeling him as a clown-type figure. https://twitter.com/joerogan/status/593268834703814657 https://twitter.com/Anthony_Rumble/status/593266799778648064 https://twitter.com/LukeRockhold/status/593258942009970688 https://twitter.com/SandhuMMA/status/593316931840671745 https://twitter.com/FunkMaster_UFC/status/593260727487569921 https://twitter.com/MikeMav22/status/593254875972050944 https://twitter.com/MeansTim/status/593252873854586881 https://twitter.com/GarethADaviesDT/status/593302243467665408 https://twitter.com/VinnyMMA/status/593301304874803200 https://twitter.com/Scottjorgensen/status/593253604619747328 https://twitter.com/BrendanSchaub/status/593264927843823618

The reaction to the initial reports of Jones' alleged hit-and-run were a little more humorous.
