Hours after several media outlets reported on the arrest, Jones released a bizarre workout video on Instagram vowing that he was going to stop drinking alcohol and promising to devote himself to using the incident to become a better person while Randy Newman’s “You got a friend in me” from Toy Story plays in the background.
Jon Jones posted an Instagram story of him doing a bench press this evening. On the story were several phrases, including: “I have way too much trauma to consume alcohol, my brain simply can’t handle it anymore. I will leave alcohol in my past forever.” pic.twitter.com/lnvxWjls3U

“I have way too much trauma to consume alcohol,” Jones wrote. “My brain simply can’t handle it anymore. I will leave alcohol in my past forever.
“Now is the time to work harder than ever.
“Turn this nightmare into the best thing to ever happen in my life.
“What the devil means for bad, God means for good.
“Get right back on my horse.”
MMA fans were puzzled by Jones’ Instagram post.
“Get right back on my horse” tells you everything you need to know about him.
He doesn’t think there’s going to be long term consequences to this because he’s never had to face the consequences of his actions. Some jail time would be good for him, no joke. https://t.co/mKXupE6T7U
