Although Jon Jones' career is ongoing, we can already speak of him grandly. After all, he is a former UFC light heavyweight champion and is currently the heavyweight champion.
After winning the belt, the Americans have not yet had the chance to defend it. Officially, this was supposed to happen on November 11, 2023, but Jones did not fight due to an injury before the bout with Stipe Miocic.
During his career, Jones has had multiple legal issues. According to the media, the athlete has "messed up" again. The entire situation was covered by the British "Daily Mail."
The American was forced to meet with USADA officials in March this year. According to a woman who was one of the people to arrive at the UFC champion's home, he got so upset that he threatened the officials, took their phone, and... wanted to beat her up.
A hearing has already taken place in this matter. According to the mentioned source, Jones has heard two charges for allegedly assaulting one of the officials. The 36-year-old did not admit to the allegations, and footage from his home surveillance showed him escorting the officials to the exit.
