UFC Reinstated Jon Jones

The UFC announced today that they have lifted their suspension on Jon Jones the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, who was forced to vacate his title after fleeing from the scene of an accident back in April. Daniel Cormier went on to win the title in Jones absence.

Last month, Jones pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, and was sentenced to 18 months of supervised probation, with authorization to travel for work-related reasons. Jones is also mandated to do 72 appearances for charity or youth outreach in order to avoid a felony charge.

Both UFC and Jones commented on the news:

“we’ve made it clear to Jon that this new opportunity to compete in UFC is a privilege and not a right, and there are significant expectations we have regarding his conduct moving forward,” said UFC Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Fertitta. “We’re happy to read and see reports that he has embraced the terms of his plea agreement ans is using this experience to grow and develop as a person.”

“I am thankful to be able to do what I love once again and i look forward to proving myself as a champion in and out of the Octagon.” Jones said.

The Rock & Hulk Hogan Cast As Villains In The Expendables 4?

According to several reports, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Hulk Hogan have been cast as villains in Expendables 4.

Hogan already hinted his appearance should the next chapter be officially announced.

“You know, Stallone gave me my first break.” Hogan said. “He has been a great friend for all these years. We had a great conversation, talking about the possibilities. Can I still run? Can I still jump? Well not as fast or not as high, but I think Hollywood could find a good stuntman to help me out!”

The Rock has expressed his desire to join the cast but not as a team member, instead someone who will make life miserable for Sly’s team.

“I don’t want to be on their team and be buddies with them,” Johnson said. “F*ck that noise. I want to hunt every single one of them down and tell them to ‘send your soul to heaven cause your ass is mine.”

Although Sylvester Stallone is having second thoughts on pushing for “The Expendables 4,” the cast members are positive that Sly will indeed make it happen.
