‘If you can afford to do a little coke, & still win world titles, who’s to tell you you can’t?”

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones is currently coming off of a USADA enforced suspension from the UFC. The fighter will be making his return to the octagon in a title fight rematch against reigning champion Daniel Cormier at UFC 214.

During the UFC Summer Kickoff Press Conference, Jon Jones admitted to doing cocaine before his fight with Daniel Cormier at UFC 182. Now, the fighter has come forward with his thoughts on the fan feedback he has received for the statement, as well as his thoughts on the substance itself.

In an interview with Bleach Report, Jon Jones revealed that he does not believe himself to be an addict. However, the fighter does know that the hard drug is illegal.

“If you can afford to smoke a little weed, and do a little coke, and still win world titles, who’s to tell you you can’t? I understand these things are illegal. And once you get caught doing it, it’s humiliating. But at the same time, I’m not an addict or anything like that. You don’t see me walking around weighing fucking 100 pounds with my teeth rotting out and scabs all over my face.” Jones said.
