Brazilian Mixed Martial Artist Glover Teixeira felt Jon Jones should not be in action after his recent actions. A few days back, Jones was arrested on charges of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) as well as reckless use of firearms.

It was not the first time that the police had to file a charge sheet against Jones. He was previously charged for DWI in 2012. In 2015, an arrest was issued against Jones in a hit and run case while least year, he was charged with battery.

It was because of these multiple mistakes that Teixeira said he would have suspended Jones from UFC if it was in his hands.

“Were it up to me, he’d be out for a year. I have to look at things from my perspective, he’s already the champion, he’s financially stable. If we remove him, the line moves faster. I don’t root against him outside of the Octagon. Jon Jones f*cked up and it’s not the first time, but it’s complicated. I just hope he learns from that and doesn’t f*ck up anymore. It’s annoying. A friend of mine showed me a video of him crying when he got arrested. That made me sad. Who doesn’t make mistakes?” Teixeira said as per BloodyElbow.

In what was surprising to hear, Teixeira admitted that he has driven after consuming alcohol. But he said Jones was “hammered” and deserves punishment after multiple offences.

“I do enjoy a drink, I’ve had a couple of beers and then went out driving before, but I was not hammered like he was. He had a bottle of tequila and a gun with him. He had to rely on his luck. I don’t know if he’s overconfident, but he has done that many times before. It gives an impression he does that all the time. If I f*cked like that, I would be punished, for sure. The UFC has to do the right thing,” Teixeira said.
