He will be remembered as a roider, a guy who drives while drunk. That\u2019s his business. I have to be remembered for not doing those things. It\u2019s his life. If that\u2019s how he wants to live his life, that\u2019s his problem. It doesn\u2019t bother me. It\u2019s like I said, you can\u2019t argue about his talent inside the Octagon, but outside of it, unfortunately he\u2019s not a good role model. That\u2019s what I think.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With that, Santos says his lone concern resides in whether or not Jon Jones will actually be allowed to compete this July in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thing I fear the most is him stirring up some sh-t before the event and the fight falls through,\u201d Santos said. \u201cThat\u2019s my biggest fear, him messing up and the fight doesn\u2019t happen. What we want is this fight. This picogram keeps coming up and nothing happens. Am I going to go against the grain?
