Jon Jones will fight assault, communication interference charges
Shortly after the incident, Jones posted security camera footage that showed him and the testers appearing to have a cordial interaction outside of his home. The footage didn’t show any assault or potential threats of violence.
This latest incident adds to Jones’s checkered history outside of the UFC. In 2021, he was arrested on domestic violence charges stemming from an incident at a Las Vegas resort with him and his fiancée.
Jones hasn’t competed inside the UFC Octagon since a submission win over Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. He won the then-vacant UFC heavyweight title after a multi-year absence from competition.
As of this writing, Jones is the #3 pound-for-pound fighter on the latest UFC rankings. He sits behind UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira and UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev.
Jones is widely regarded as one of the greatest combat sports athletes of all time after a legendary run in the UFC. He’s defeated the likes of Daniel Cormier, Glover Teixeira, and Vitor Belfort during his UFC tenure.
