Jon Jones has been making headlines, but recently he drew attention for the wrong reason. The UFC heavyweight champion recently gave death threats to a person working for a drug testing agency as he recovers from his shoulder injury. Threatening the drug tester did not end well as it drew the attention of law enforcement officials.
According to sources, the drug tester from Drug Free Sport International revealed that Jon Jones was in an intoxicated state and sent death threats his way. Moreover, ‘Bones’ even snatched the cell phone from the drug tester. 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 have launched an investigation into the heavyweight champion’s criminal act. ‘Bones’ has a history of legal troubles in the past and many people thought he might have changed over the years, but it seems like the UFC’s GOAT still finds himself in trouble with the law. It remains to be seen what the outcome of that investigation will turn out to be.
