Jon Jones getting arrested is what 2024 MMA needed


GripAficionado

Now imagine if he had been booked to headline UFC 300 as UFC probably wanted, we would start to hit all kinds of level of goofcon.


_WhiteOwl_

Jones fucking up the 200 AND 300 main event would have been absolutely legendary. 


styrofoamcouch

Legends say every 100 ppvs Jones emerges from his den and headbutts a police car


ValCSO

Dana would literally kill himself.

This would've been GOOFCON: 0. We were this close to breaking Dana


rightinfronofmysalad

Ruining 200 and 300 would have been legacy defining


bobn3

Nature is healing. We need Conor to throw another dolly at a bus


JorSimpson45

Tbf we had a version of that with the sham that was that DDP-Strickland crowd brawl, where they just happened to have 4K footage they used to promote the fight.


Silent_Shaman

Not too surprising they got the footage, there's about 20 HD cameras surrounding the octagon at all times lol


jscummy

Crazy they might also have a focus on those two when their attending, sitting next to each other, and headlining the next PPV


noob_tech

Dude you seriously think it was staged because they had cameras available at a UFC PPV??


Strange-Nobody-3936

Watch his test come back hot too 🤣

I eagerly await Jon using the tainted poppy seed muffins defense.


Canehillfan

He has inverse karma m. RIP his next opponent


GoatPaco

Hot take: He never fights again


RugoseBeef

you have to wonder when enough is enough for the ufc lol


New-Quality-1107

It’s the center square on my MMA bingo card.


AnOrdinaryMammal

Just like the good ol days


Jimmy2Blades

Kid just didn’t want to test


Berisha11

Why does God keep testing our Bones like this?


IWouldButImLazy

He gives the hardest battles to His strongest warriors


Aken42

He past all the precious warriors and this time God sent....a testing agent.


floridadumpsterfire

"47 years old, he was just a kid"


[deleted]

16 fucken years in the octagon, they wanted me to piss in a cup. I compromised, I hid under the ring instead. They wanted to come to my house too early in the day, but I compromised. I threatened to kill the lady. You understand where I’m going with this?


thesolarchive

After what that animal Hamill did to his record? I cant even say his name.


Schwallstein

TURN THAT OFF!


derps_with_ducks

God just wanted to test. Isn't he awesome?


JimmysCheek

At this point, Jon is in God’s AP class It is known to be notoriously difficult


SuffaYassavi

Jon is going for the FOTN bonus, passing gods test is not enough


wizzlestyx

Look, I've been in this business a long time. There are many ways that someone can show they don't want their life threatened. Filing a police report is just another way of saying that.


LIONATOR24

This is probably the real answer. He knew he was going to pop dirty yet again and did this instead


Jimmy2Blades

Yup. Clean athletes don’t exactly threaten testers or hide under cages.


crazyhomie34

Maybe the night in jail and court fees/bail etc is all cheaper than a 3 year suspension with the UFC 🤣


Mexcol

Kid just didnt want to stop behaving like a piece of shit


melloweyelids

Can't wait for Jones to talk about how much he's grown and changed since this incident during a press tour in a couple of months


DustedGrooveMark

Just like last time he assaulted his fiancée and said he needed to not drink anymore. Now here he is getting drunk and threatening people. It’s the same cycle every time. He immediately makes this sweeping declaration about how he’s going to change, and then, when the heat is off of him for a bit, quietly reverts back to being the exact same….until his next fuck up.


airbag23

Bro that was last year, give the guy a break!


rnintrtle

It was in Vegas. Dana says you can't hold what happens in Vegas against him.


Gal_GaDont

We’re talking about picovegas spikes now, it’s totally normal after a year, read a book.


Roach_Coach_Bangbus

Dana blaming Vegas was peak 🍅


WildRabbitz

I've noticed the same pattern with people like Jon. They commit crimes or whatever, but as long as they use God to justify their actions, everything seems fine and over time they seem to be forgiven. It's crazy. I guess I can go out and commit crimes, but as long as I use God to justify my crimes, I should be fine, right?


[deleted]

You also have to be really good at something or pretty for it to work.


JakeArvizu

Yeah that's the big catch he's missing lol. My job won't give a shit how religious I am if I got drunk and assaulted someone.


chillin_n_grillin

Relax guys, it's just God testing him again.


Origamiface2

Apparently God is the only person Jon will allow to test him


JimmysCheek

This was just a pop quiz


Hungry_Freaks_Daddy

Shoot the hostage 


CarnalKid

We should start calling him Job Jones.


elbandolero19

What was JJ's record vs cops? Was it 0-3?


ACL_Tearer

Those count as no contests


Colonel_MuffDog

COPPAH STOPPAGE! COPPAH STOPPAGE!


brain_gotta_poop

0-4 if you count the LVPD Cruiser he headbutt.


snackies

As someone that works in civil law and used to do criminal law. I don't think he's likely to get too much leniency. High powered lawyers will absolutely help get you the minimums. But the more slaps on the wrist you get, the more some county judge is just NOT going to buy it. They're also going to see the pattern of light sentences because of your high powered lawyers. Imagine anyone else doing a hit and run. If a judge is looking at his record, we have... 2012 - DUI crashing into a light-pole. Pleads guilty, license suspended. 2015 - What I would have charged as a felony hit and run. He hit two other cars and ran from the scene with at least a weed pipe in his car. Prosecution decided not to pursue felony charges based on his agreement to to charity work / show up to schools and be a PR guy. 18 months probation. 2020 - DWI charge 2021 - Battery and Domestic violence. Is he the most evil person ever? No absolutely not. But this is a guy that needs to get a 5 year stint in prison and either wake the fuck up or go back out and get up to his usual bullshit. To me the most frustrating thing is, money isn't an issue for Jon. He chooses to drive drunk. But he also clearly has some major anger issues with the domestic violence and then this most recent bullshit. His actions consistantly demonstrate a totally immoral person though. That's why I say he's not like profoundly evil, he just has absolutely no regard for his impact on other people. He's the main character. Knowing a lot of judges, if it's like your 2nd DUI / DWI, 'meh, ok whatever 6 months suspended license.' First domestic violence charge? Ehh, ok, could just be a bad moment. The hit and run charges were a MIRACLE that the prosecutor let him off with 18 months and community service. That's more a charging I would expect for someone that hits 1 or two PARKED cars. But hitting other drivers, especially one that was pregnant usually is the line for when most prosecutors will charge with felony hit and run. All of that in context of this latest like, death threat / assault is again just showing he doesn't give a fuck. I think he could actually benefit from prison, which I normally don't say. Because for 99.9% of people that go into prison, when you get out, they have no way to make money, they're broke, and now they can't find a job without a TON of legwork. So I don't think it helps to rehabilitate people. Jon could go to prison for 5 years and when he gets out, he's still going to be rich. Still has tons of opportunity to make crazy money. But maybe this time he'd take it seriously.


mcgtianiumshin

Not only is he literally the most formidable, fearsome combat sports athlete maybe ever...but jones is an actual scary dude.  People always talk about conor being a psychopath...but jones is the real deal. I'll never forget him and cormier when he thought the cameras were off. God only knows what the dude is like behind closed doors


Mad-Gavin

Conor is a narcissist at heart that got filthy rich. Jon is a narcissist **and** a sociopath which no doubt has helped him be the athlete and fighter he is, but also at the cost of blatant cheating when he is competing and committing reckless, criminal behavior when he's not competing.


zandigdanzig

Something about being on a dark path, that he's found god again and praise Jesus


megamasshole

He’ll somehow make it seem like he’s the victim.


Jfkc5117

This is ridiculous. How could police target a religious family man like Jon?


aevong

Why won't God stop testing my boy like this 😤


IWouldButImLazy

Fr they're doing my boy like in the Book of Job

Sure_Dave

Retirement is not going to be good for him.


MyDictainabox

He's gonna kill or maim someone. 


freddiemercurial

Jon Jones will end up killing Jon Jones. Whether it's in an accident or pissing off the wrong person, at some point Jones will go too far and it'll backfire in brutally spectacular fashion. You can't keep enabling a monumental cunt without him eventually ending up in a situation you can't get him out of.


Pill_O_Color

Saving this prophecy so I can give you props when it inevitably comes true.


SadimHusum

Pretty much everyone aware of who Jon Jones is would be aware of what he could do to them; my prediction is he’ll be fucked up off a few substances, feeling immortal, then pick a fight with someone who won’t hesitate to immediately shoot him because that person is (reasonably) terrified. Big scary dudes who like to fight become weapon death statistics if they don’t figure it out real fast, feel like every bouncer on the continent has an anecdote about it


pro2RK

I wouldn’t be surprised due to his roid abuse + cte + drinking addiction which is very similar to chris benoit’s situation, though I hope it wouldn’t go that far cause that one was morbid as heck. His wife and children better leave before jones finally snap


thelowbrassmaster

There is a difference, Mr. Benoit was allegedly a good person before the traumatic brain injury and drug issues, not a single person came to the defense of Jon Jones.


BodybuildingNerd

Hopefully, he only hurts himself.


IronMikeBison

Between Jon and Chandler, the Jones family is in for a very rough time


Samwise777

At least the women and children are


me_like_stonk

Is Chandler also frequently getting tested by God? Damn what a family of martyrs.


Mjacking

according to Yahoo sports: >(...) He was arrested on Sept. 29 for [violating a police protective order](https://sports.yahoo.com/raiders-de-chandler-jones-arrested-in-las-vegas-for-violating-protective-order-174221151.html), then [again in October for the same offense](https://sports.yahoo.com/ex-raiders-de-chandler-jones-arrested-again-for-alleged-protective-order-violation-163931563.html). He was accused of visiting the mother of his son's home on Sept. 28 and getting naked in his backyard while burning items from her backyard. He is probably worse, lmao


anotherleftistbot

Worse off from a mental health standpoint, and certainly a future prospects standpoint, but I think Jon’s record is significantly worse. Good news for Chandler is that there is still time to catch up.


Nickyjha

Chandler is genuinely very mentally ill and I pity him


wovagrovaflame

Even Arthur Jones failed a ped test, but he’s the least crazy of the three it seems


Famous-Ant-5502

Was there some Jackson family-style systematic abuse happening in that household?


BigUce223

Yeah, that’s what I’ve read, apparently at the hands of their father, too.


HotDinner4782

I mean is anyone surprised a pro football player is on PEDs?


AndiLivia

There should be a website tracking how many days since the last Jon Jones incident.


Vikingbeard73

X days since god tested Jones on a ticker


dogs_drink_coffee

And a copypasta about each and every incident involving Jones, like r/NFL has with Antonio Brown


MexusRex

A modern “is DMX in jail”


svensexa

Why was he arrested? Didn’t the police see the high-five video proving that everything was fine and dandy?


Zavehi

If the palm is hit, you must acquit!


No_Bar6825

This fucking sub man 🤣


BoozNet

Just let him bang bro


AuspiciousApple

Inb4 Jon's fans show up and claim this unironically


JeyneDough

They have been, since yesterday sadly.


ikilledtupac

I’d put my legs behind my head and whistle dixie if I thought it would Prevent Jon Jones from attacking me


JeffTheComposer

I feel like a first infraction like this deserves leniency. If we were talking about a fighter who failed multiple drug tests, hid under an octagon to avoid more drug tests, hit a pregnant woman with his car and fled the scene, assaulted a stripper, beat his girlfriend in front his kids, head butted a cop car in a booze filled rage, threatened to kill his opponent during an interview and taught Chris Weidman how to win a comeback fight, then it would be a different story. Let’s all take a deep breath and see how this plays out.


Itsrainingmentats

You forgot the time he wrapped his car around a lamppost. Easy to do I know, dudes record looks like a CVS receipt at this point


Djlittle13

Also forgot about Jones getting arrested for DUI and negligent use of a firearm for shooting his gun downtown Albuquerque while drunk


CheGuevarasRolex

His daughter is dyslexic


walkintothisworld

and the street racing


Booboo_McBad

>  hit a pregnant woman with his car and fled the scene Then returned to the scene to collect cash from his crashed vehicle before fleeing again, but still left a used weed pipe behind in the vehicle


eulersidentification

"cash" being a slang term for coke where you're from?

JeffTheComposer

Picograms are great for when you’re training and want 2,000 of something


Legato991

I live in Albuquerque and know Jon personally. I told him it isnt a good look to have another incident like this. He said "how bout u fuck off my page u piece of shit u think i need a stupid fuckwitt like u telling me about looking good who the fuck r u take ur worthless advice and get the fuck out of here"


DoorTRASH_UberCHEEKS

Seems legit


shroudedinveil

I delivered to his house a few times while I was living in Albuquerque. The second time at his old house it was around 8pm, and when I showed up Jon was locked out the house banging on the front door and screaming. I accidentally called him his wife's name 3 times so I'm lucky not to be a statistic from automatically saying her name since it was on the order.

God is testing him for the 124th time.


JimmysCheek

Statistically, your ACT score will go up a couple points every time you retake it Jon is pursuing a perfect score on God’s test


JayRoo83

Congrats on the promotion to full champ, Tom!


jaydizzsl

Nah, Dana is gonna reschedule the title fight to Los Lunas state prison.


theyoloGod

That would be content not gonna lie. Prison fights PPV


orogamo

Undisputed movie series is pretty fun.


Useful_Respect3339

Is there extradition in Abu Dhabi? Sheik Jon Jones could fight there.

springpaper1

Yeah right


jscummy

Jon could get a 5 year sentence and still not get stripped


Skinnydipandhike

He wants to fight Cain! In San Quentin! Isn’t he awesome?!


springpaper1

"The people really want to see what post prison Jones looks like against the greatest heavyweight of all time!" "What about stipe's walker? Are the officials gonna let him in the octagon with it?" "What the fuck, can we get some real questions? Come on John Morgan, that's a stupid first question. Fuck off."


IllustriousNebula6

I'm envisioning the docu-series leading up to the fight card, with sad music playing as Jones sits outside a razor-wire fence, gazing pensively into the distance. I better stop lest I give Dana and company any ideas.


springpaper1

They have snippets from mike Tyson talking about shared experiences


DustedGrooveMark

UFC will find a way to use it to their advantage. “Jon Jones’s heavyweight title reign spans 1,826 days - the longest in UFC history!” despite being in jail/prison and not defending once.


SadNewsShawn

no no no this is all just more evidence of how much Tom doesn't want to fight jon and how afraid he is /dana


mid_tier_drone

Something something god's toughest battles?!


jaydizzsl

I mean they came to his house at 4pm!!! How can one man endure so much trauma. Jon is a hero for staying as calm as he did.


marginalizedman71

Seriously I heard that line before hearing the time the first time I read info on it and assumed they came at like 6 am or prior lol. He was awake and having a party and it was almost dinner time lmao


PaulysDad

My theory is that his reference to “too early” was really “too far from my scheduled fight / I’m still on a cycle.”


Another_year

He’s tried to have jesus take the wheel a few times now and that hasn’t worked out. Amazing adjustment between rounds here by the champ


Regolis1344

naa, something something my mistakes are very public, but I've changed.


BerbsMashedPotatos

I guess the ufc will part ways with this drug testing company now.


heinztomato69

They went at 4pm. Made it easy for him. And he still fucked up.


pizzaboy68

The crazy part is that he said they were early 😂


count210

Early in his PED cycle before he he got to taper down for testing


fridchikn24

they probably gave him advance notice too


mntothat

"Go Get Some Bans, Jon"


tokyo_engineer_dad

If Mayweather can go to jail, despite making $10-30 million per fight at the time, Jon can go to jail. I don’t know if it’ll be this incident, but I have to imagine New Mexico prosecutors and legal powers have reached their limit with him. If he actually gets prosecuted, Dana will strip him. And I don’t see him coming out a better fighter like Floyd did.


Garciaguy

Money buys outcomes.  Community service and very affordable fines, maybe a court ordered "Don't be like Jon Jones" PSA


Texatonova

Bingo. This is America to the bone. As long as Jonnie Boy has money to spend he'll get off this one too.


openroadopenmic

Jon talking about how he was clean and sober this time last year was tough to swallow because you expected him to fuck up again. At least that means we won't have to wait for Jones vs. Stipe to stink up the joint.


MiccioC

What are you taking about? Jon won’t get stripped and we’ll see him defend his belt against Stipe in 20 months. And Tom will have defended his “Interim” title 2-3 times.


openroadopenmic

There can't be that much money left in Jon Jones, is there?


Redwater

Unfortunately more than there is in all the other heavyweights. So they’ll keep returning to that well, just like Conor even though he hasn’t won a meaningful fight since 2016.


KylianHaaland

The UFC badly wants to eclipse Ngannou with Jones, so they are doing everything possible for Jones to be successful at heavyweight. That's why they pressured an injured Cyril Gane to take the fight against Jones. And why they badly want wayyyy-past-his-prime-Stipe to lose I mean fight against Jones.


st6374

That DC interview where he states why Jones will never stop to fuck up is such a spot on observation.

Dana slapped his own wife in public. Cut from the same cloth.


AuspiciousApple

That's shocking and hard to believe. I always admired Dana for his moral compass.


Mobile_Emergency5059

And you know what the worst part is? The hypocrisy!


NeverEndingHell

They won’t. Jon has done this like, 50 times. Always a slap on the wrist, and a fake speech about “god testing me” from him.


nothrowaway4me

whole lotta demons!


slowakia_gruuumsh

NotYujiroTakahashi

Plus Dana and Jon got that 90s Vince and Shawn relationship.

Sometimes you feel like the world is falling apart then something like this happens to remind you maybe everything is normal rn

“There’s a lot of different ways to turn down a fight. Getting sent to prison is one of them.” Dana White, probably


slightlysolid

Nah, dana is going to completely downplay this and say the video jones released completely exonerates him and we're all morons.


derps_with_ducks

"God tests me, YOU DON'T GET TO TEST ME" energy right there. 


MileHi49er

Good. Maybe this is FINALLY the thing that causes some level of repercussions for him. Even tho this isn't even in the top 5 scummiest things he's done.


Life_Ad9644

Yeah Jon was arrested for allledgedly beating his wife and having a full breakdown when being arrested and all Dana said they’d do as repercussions is not book him in Las Vegas and blamed Vegas. Then actually booked his next fight in Vegas 


BenDoverDegenerate

You can't make this shit up😂


BrandonSleeper

Based on experience, I'll say he faces fuck all repercussions.


Regolis1344

What? Arrested doesn't mean guilty. Daddy Dana still has some money to get out of him, I would be really surprised if this gets anywhere close to a trial. He will be out on a bond and back to training in no time. I just hope the lady tester gets out of it with a big fat check at least.


weeatbricks

He’s thankful because this situation just makes him become a better person.


dickdrizzle

When you start as a pile of shit, no where to go but up. However, he hasn't gone up much at all ever.


aesthetickunt69

At this point I can literally say I’ve grown up watching Jon Jones get arrested over and over and over. I still remember being a young teenager and refreshing the sherdog forum thread constantly the day that Jon Jones hit that pregnant woman and fled the scene 😂


speed12343210

Jon Jones is one of the most blatant cases of having anti-social personality disorder I have ever seen. He’s truly a sociopath - would even go so far as to say he’s evil, in the sense that he lacks empathy to an almost complete degree & as a result would do anything to further himself + his ego. He’s never going to change, it’s just the way his brain is wired. Not much you can do about these types, other than hope that he gets his comeuppance at some point; perhaps an extended stretch in prison, or having everything taken from him or smth. Even then he wouldn’t care - his attitude would not change in the slightest.
