UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones stay in a rehab facility was a short lived stay according to WBNG in New York.
Jones entered rehab last week after it was revealed that he tested positive for cocaine prior to his fight against Daniel Cormier at UFC 182, but according to his mother, Camille, Jones only stayed on night.
She did admit that she was glad her son got caught.
“I’m glad that this happened to Jon, this stopped him in his tracks, this let him know that he may need to change some friends, you know, because everyone is not for you for the best,” Camille Jones said. “So this is a good thing as far as our family is concerned, so we wasn’t upset. Me and my husband considered it a blessing from God that our child was able to be helped and know that he need to stop and know that he needed the assistance to stop before it came to something worse.”
Jones mother also revealed the drug test administered by the Nevada State Athletic Commission came a day after he was hanging out with old friends and got caught doing ‘something he shouldn’t have done’.
Jones reportedly will be attending the AFC championship game between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts, which features a battle of his brothers as Arthur and Chandler play for the two teams competing for a chance to go to the Super Bowl on Sunday.
