Henry Cejudo does not believe Jon Jones will ever compete as a light heavyweight again in the UFC.

Speaking on The Triple C & Schmo Show, the former two-division UFC champion said that Jones has become too big ahead of his heavyweight debut to make the 205-pound limit again.

"He [Jon Jones] is huge, man. There is no way he is ever gonna make light heavyweight ever again."

Jon Jones was suspended from Jackson Wink MMA after his run-in with the law

Less than 12 hours after being inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in September, Jon Jones was arrested by the Las Vegas Metro Police Department.

'Bones' was charged with misdemeanor battery domestic violence and injuring and tampering with a vehicle.

Jon Jones was arrested early Friday morning by the Las Vegas Metro PD, a police spokesperson told ESPN. Jones is being charged with battery domestic violence and injuring and tampering with a vehicle. More info coming to @espn.

After the incident, the former 205-pound champion was temporarily suspended from the Jackson Wink MMA gym by Mike Winkeljohn.

Jon Jones tweeted about losing the support of one of his “longtime coaches” after a “heartbreaking conversation.”

In an appearance on Ariel Helwani's The MMA Hour, Winkeljohn shared his thoughts on the Jones incident. The MMA coach also spoke about the thought process behind the decision to suspend the 34-year-old.

"I was very disappointed, it's tough. The hardest part was when you hear that his [Jon Jones'] daughter said, 'You gotta call the police officer'... it just makes it hard when he keeps getting in trouble. But I had a conversation with him and I said, 'Jon, here's the deal man, you're like my little brother. You have to stop drinking and fix these things for a certain period of time so you can come back to the gym.' So at the moment he's out of the gym, he's not allowed to come in the gym because I feel I had to do that because ignoring it and expecting different results is insanity."
