Following his recent disciplinary hearing in California, Jon “Bones” Jones lost a fan in Miesha Tate.
Instead of being found innocent in his latest doping case, Jones was found guilty, and fined $205,000.00 and got his license revoked.
Miesha took the news hard, and took to her podcast to issue a lengthy anti Jon Jones statement.
While on the air, Tate stated, “I don’t really care at this point if he comes back. Because I’ve lost the motivation and the interest and the faith that I have in Jon Jones has been lost.”
“Now, maybe in three or four years, if he gets a great suspension and gets the book thrown at him. And he really does make those changes, maybe he has a chance at restoring that.”
“But, at this point I just don’t care anymore. I’m over Jon Jones, I’m done with it. I don’t want to hear his sob story. I felt sorry the first and second time, he kind of had me.”
“But, it’s like fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, I mean come on. Am I waiting for a fourth now?”
“I just don’t, I’m over it.”
“I wish and I hope that it does change Jon Jones. And I hope. But, I’m also not invested in Jon Jones anymore. I’m kind of checked out at this point.”
“It’s just been too many times, too many instances, and I’ve heard this story, one, two, three, four, five times already.”
“So, it’s like unless he shows me something different than just saying, ‘I’m a changed man’, he’s got to do a lot more to gain me back as a fan, and to care to see him compete again.”
“I just don’t want to be let down again.”
Now Jon Jones has replied.
