UFC champ Jon Jones spent only one night in rehab (No really!)

Praise Jesus! He's cured!

Jon Jones’ rocky road to recovery is finally over as he exited rehab after a measly one-night stay.

It was announced last week that the Bones Jones had entered into a rehab centre after testing positive for cocaine metabolites in December. However, Jones’ mother Camille revealed today that his stint in the facility was a remarkably short one.

According to Camille, the figher spent just one night in rehab and that the fighter will be attending the NFL game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots on Sunday to support his brothers. Arthur Jones plays defensive end for the Colts while Chandler also plays defensive end, but for the Patriots.

Camille revealed that she was delighted about the debacle involving her son, implying it would provide him with a much-needed wake up call.

I’m glad that this happened to Jon, This stopped him in his tracks. This let him know that he may need to change some friends, because everyone is not for you, for the best.

This is a good thing as far as our family is concerned, so we (weren’t) upset. Me and my husband considered it a blessing from God that our child was able to be helped, and know that he need to stop, and know that he needed the assistance to stop before it came to something worse.
