According to his manager, Malki Kawa, Jones will be “fine” after the incident.

He posted another vid to explain the situation and explained that he will be fine.

FYI this is a completely different scar than the one I had in that area previously, they’re not even touching… The four stitches will be out in four days. The wound should be healed within a week. Time for me to start wearing my head gear #adversityisnothing
