What was said
"They just quietly removed Isaac Micho's like wanted in America and he's like uh for alleged sex crimes and he's uh avoiding returning to the US to face his charges. But like he was on the ADCC competitor list for ever. And I kept asking him I'm like can we just pull in from the list? Should that can we just set a precedent here that if you're like avoiding facing up to criminal accusations with an active arrest warrant that you should not be allowed in the event even though it's in another country it's not going to extradite you."
Jones revealed that grappler Isaac Micheo has an active US arrest warrant for alleged sex crimes and is avoiding returning to face charges. Jones publicly pressured ADCC organizers to remove Micheo from their competitor list, arguing those evading criminal prosecution shouldn't be allowed to compete internationally. ADCC eventually removed him after prolonged resistance.
