UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones recently voluntarily checked into a drug treatment facility after it became public that he tested positive for cocaine in early December, about a month prior to his Jan. 3 victory over Daniel Cormier at UFC 182. Jones’ mother told CBS affiliate WBNG that her son’s stint in rehab lasted all of one night, and he plans to be in Foxborough, Mass., on Sunday when his two brothers, Chandler and Arthur, line up opposite each other in the AFC Championship game. Having come under heavy criticism for facing no official punishment from the Nevada Athletic Commission or the UFC at this point, Jones’ brief stint in rehab is likely to fan the flames of criticism to new heights. The UFC especially has come under fire for what many fans view as favorable treatment of Jones because he is one of the promotion’s superstars and not an “average Joe” fighter
