Ben Askren shares two-word reaction to Jon Jones pleading not guilty in court
Ben Askren weighed in on Jon Jones pleading not guilty in court and shared a two-word reaction to the specifics of the deal. The former UFC competitor has been known for his humorous tweets in the past and took advantage of the latest news regarding the reigning heavyweight champion.
'Bones' had been charged with misdemeanours dating back to his reported incident with anti-doping officers at his home in which he was allegedly uncooperative with them. Jones later put them on blast and labeled one of them as being unprofessional during the encounter and was later charged with the two misdemeanours.
The charges were serious as the UFC heavyweight champion could have faced jail time for the incident. OOC MMA tweeted a report from MMA Fighting that listed the rules that 'Bones' has to abide by after he pleaded not guilty to the two misdemeanour charges. The tweet caught Askren's attention, who then shared his two-word response that casted doubt on Jones actually abiding. He wrote:
"Good luck"
