News earlier this week that Jon Jones failed a drug test for cocaine sent ripples throughout the MMA world. Some fans and media reacted with support and others harshly. Dan Henderson was of the latter reaction:
“I enjoy the sport quite a bit and it’s fun for me to do. I love the challenge of it and everything else. Maybe it’s staying away from the cocaine that’s made me prolong my career so long,” Henderson said in the interview.
Henderson has never shied away from the fact that he doesn’t care for Jones on a personal level, often times accusing the UFC light heavyweight champion of showing one side of himself while he’s in the public and then being a completely different person when the bright lights aren’t shining.
This latest fiasco where Jones ended up in rehab after a December 4 drug test revealed that he tested positive for cocaine was only more fuel on the fire for Henderson to prove his point. Henderson says after Jones was officially busted in the drug test it was only further proof to the rumors and innuendos he’s heard about him for the past couple of years.
“I’ve heard that he was doing these things for a couple years,” Henderson said about Jones. “I’ve said in a number of interviews especially when I was going to fight him that he just wasn’t a very genuine of a person. He portrays himself differently than he actually is. Slowly but surely more and more things happen that prove that statement to be true.”
