UFC star Jon Jones has admitted he needs to work on his 'unhealthy relationship with alcohol' in his first statement issued following his DUI arrest.
The UFC light-heavyweight champion was taken into custody in Alberquerque, New Mexico last Thursday morning on charges related to drink driving and misuse of a firearm.
Jones was reportedly found 'drunk' behind the wheel of a Jeep after officers were alerted to the area by the sound of gunshots.
The 32-year-old denied firing a weapon which was subsequently found at the scene - along with a half-empty bottle of tequila - and has since issued a statement.
