Jon Jones Controversy: Alleged Death Threats Amid Drug Testing Lands UFC Champ in Trouble

Jon Jones has been making headlines, but recently he drew attention for the wrong reason. The UFC heavyweight champion allegedly gave death threats to a person working for a drug testing agency amid his shoulder injury recovery process. Threatening the drug tester did not end well as it drew the attention of law enforcement officials.

Jon Jones may have proven his status as the greatest UFC fighter ever. However, his troubles outside the Octagon do not seem to go away. ‘Bones’ has already had legal problems in the states of New York and Nevada, but now he found himself in another controversial incident that took place in New Mexico.

Jon Jones allegedly gave death threats to a drug tester

According to sources, a drug tester from Drug Free Sport International revealed that he found Jon Jones in an intoxicated state and sent death threats his way a few days ago. Moreover, ‘Bones’ even snatched the cell phone from him during that altercation. The incident took place in Albuquerque in March and the tester did not waste much time in informing the local police department.

The drug tester met up with officials from the Albuquerque Police Department to explain what went down with Jon Jones, and they  launched an investigation into the heavyweight champion’s actions on that day. While Jones went too far with the death threats this time around, did you know that the heavyweight champion once heckled a stand-up comedian?

‘Bones’ appeared drunk at a comedy club!

Almost a couple of months ago, YouTuber Def Noodles was performing at his comedy club in Los Angeles. Apparently, Jon Jones walked into the show during his performance and started heckling him. The UFC champion admitted that he was drunk and even asked Noodles to make some ‘b*tt’ jokes.

A video from the incident has gone viral on social media. The inebriated Jon Jones kept yelling for a few minutes and hurled insults at the performer and the owner of the comedy club. After getting arrested in the past for domestic violence, he mentioned having stopped drinking, but in the wake of recent events, this does not seem to be true.

‘Bones’ has a history of legal troubles in the past and many people thought he might have changed over the years, but Jon Jones is still finding himself in controversial situations. It remains to be seen what the outcome of that investigation will turn out to be in the days to come.
