Jones, Jackson talk stopping a robbery on the way to a waterfall

 

 

Not only did the future of MMA dominate his way to the UFC ligth heavyweight championship, for a warm-up, he and trainers Greg Jackson, Mike Winklejohn thrwarted a robbery on the rough streets of Patterson, NJ on Saturday afternoon, hours before fight time.

Jones was on his way to meditate in front of a waterfall in northern New Jersey. Jones, along with Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn, spotted the suspect breaking into a car and stealing some objects. The group shouted at the robber and he took off.

Jones, Jackson and Winkeljohn pursued him on foot. The robber eventually fell and Jones, the youngest of the group at 23, caught up to the robber and used a foot sweep to bring him to the ground.

With the robber on the ground, Jackson began yelling to his fighter to stay away. Once the trainers caught up to robber, he tried to get up. Jackson took him down and jumped on top applying an arm bar. Winkeljohn went for the other arm to make sure he didn't have a weapon. The trainers said some blood from the suspect got on their pants. Shortly afterward, the police arrived to arrest the suspect.

Jackson mentioned that Jones eventually reached their destination. "It was an incredibly beautiful waterfall," said Jackson.

If everyone followed the examples of Jones and Jackson, the crime rates would plummet.

Staged ? In Paterson? In any other city maybe but Paterson don't play. They just laid off 100 cops and crime has been bad for years.

I suppose any loaf will agree to play the part of the "robber" for some bucks. I am not saying its all staged. Just perspectives.
