Shock, controversy, anger, praise. The combat sports world, not the majority of the internet was lit aflame, but what Alex had done in the cage against the former and undefeated light heavyweight champion.
It was murder, plain and simple. And the District Attorney was trying to argue that it was pre-meditated murder by all the comments Alex had made on the internet prior to breaking the neck of James Jones via repeated and illegal elbows to the throat.
Alex would have stood trial, if not for the fact that Nina went out of her way to expose all of Jones' dealing with the Omani Prince, as well as the fact that the Athletic commission, and Referee themselves were paid to stand by and watch the assassination of a fighter.
It was a scandal that did not just rock the entire Combat Sports world, but exposed massive corruption in the state athletic commission responsible for sanctioning the event.
