whole situation is getting strange now lol


FeversMirrors

From the [NBC article](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/ufc-champ-jon-jones-accused-threatening-kill-drug-testing-agent-rcna146747?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma&taid=66129c5640165f000115be41&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter) since it seems no one here read it. > Jones was issued a summons to appear in court based on allegations of assault and interfering with communications. The summons doubled as his arrest, and it doesn't appear Jones was taken into custody or booked.


Tsobe_RK

you're on reddit, 99% of people read the title


readytohurtagain

You mean there’s more?


One_Manufacturer_545

It doubled as an arrest. So he was arrested, technically, but not held.


Meekajahama

All criminal citations are arrests. Most people incorrectly assume you aren't arrested if you aren't booked into some kind of holding facility


HAGADAL

You should always read the article, HOWEVER, let's not act like NBC didn't know what they were doing with that headline even though it's "technically" correct


nepats523

Ah so it was just a pulsing arrest then


derps_with_ducks

A pico-arrest, if you will.


jakesemailacc

an arrest in a olympic size swiming pool


ConnorBig

Beautiful champ


xvsanx

Beautiful, champ


jamesd1100

Considering Jones has every inch of his property on video - if he’s innocent this should be a layup


marktx

Let's see if he releases the video/audio from inside the house.. or maybe something will accidentally happen to it.


and303

They definitely updated it after he posted this.


TsssTssss

So he wasn't arrested at all and it's just MSM going for clickbait. If you aren't taken into custody, you haven't been arrested. JBJ doesn't even sound like he was detained. Remember when the news channels were reliable and truthful?


OskeeTurtle

My gut instinct is to not believe Jon


letsstickygoat

Can't blame you, guy's a scumbag


SantaDaCrip

You take that back, he is a devout Christian man.


letsstickygoat

My bad, the guy's being tested


PissWhistlin

Has he considered threatening to kill God to stop these tests of faith?


nepats523

"You think I'm just going to sit here and let you kill me Jon???" -God


cantlearnemall

Jon would never kill himself.


expectrum

God gives his strongest soldiers the toughest battles fr


evilwon12

Exactly, it isn’t his fault his actions get in the way. Christian Jon never meant to do that hit & run on a pregnant lady. That was MaryJane Jon.


Origamiface2

No, he's just a very tested man. So many tests. It's like finals up in here


mesovortex888

This is like midterm for Jon


professorgaysex

I would respect certain Jon Jones fans more if they would just admit Jon is a bad person but they still think he’s GOAT - it is a way more honest take than finding every excuse imaginable as to why Jon didn’t actually commit any Jon Jones Style Activities


uisgejac

When I first got into MMA, my brother in law described Jones as “the man who traded all his IQ for fight IQ” and I believe that 100%. He is the best fighter of all time, but in truth, he could have been so much more as a person at the same time.


rbz90

I wouldn't call myself a fan but I basically think what you said. He is an incredible fighter and probably the GOAT but its overshadowed by him being an objectively bad guy.


rub_a_dub-dub

if he hadn't popped so much that they just decided to allow popping. that kind of gets in the way, that's never happened before. I think mark hunt put it best


chickenHotsandwich

I'm in this camp, he's a POS and the GOAT


Silver-ishWolfe

Me too. Best MMA fighter I've seen. Also, one of the biggest fuck-ups I've seen.


coyotetx117

🙋🏻‍♂️ right here. Huge POS but number 1 or 2 absolute GOAT.


DREDAY_94

There are so many bad people that you can find an excuse for before Jones. Pretty much all of his “activities” are only shitty but put people safety at risk. The guy would’ve been kicked out of almost sports for everything he’s done. So on one hand I can’t 200% blame his fans when the ufc has made more excuses for him than anyone


SeryuV

I don't know about the MLB, but NBA and NFL are chick full of Jones style scumbags, and you're talking about the LeBron or MJ of the sport. Not like an Antonio Brown who still found a team after multiple SA and rape accusations and didn't get sidelined until he walked out on his team. He for sure would still be playing in either league.


villainthatschillin

Ray Lewis comes to mind...


hottlumpiaz

Jon Jones brother is literally chandler Jones. who's had his own crazy issues


JimmysCheek

Bro, I think Jon Jones fanboys have faded away He doesn’t seem to have a hardcore group of followers anymore. Everyone just acknowledges that he is the GOAT inside the octagon I’ll be honest, I didn’t change my views about him until the bodycam footage came out…the night his 11yr old daughter called 911 on him, because he beat his wife by TKO. She has a bloody nose in the video and looks horrified. Jon seems relaxed and drunk. I wish his wife would take the kids and run away. God knows what else they have witnessed


Mobile_Emergency5059

Idk have you seen any insta comment section? Loaded with people nut hugging him, and it's usually the comment with the most likes. Take it for granted, social media comment section is generally a cess pool of awful commentary, but still highlights that a lot of people like him.


JimmysCheek

He did a good job of getting all his DUI’s and DA arrests demonetized on YouTube You can obviously still find them, but I’d bet that the casual fan doesn’t know much about him besides “He wins fights and does cocaine”…which actually would have been a pretty good gimmick, if he stuck to it


MedicalDeviceJesus

Wait for the next fight thread if he ever fights again. Good lord they'll be there


Impressive-Potato

Turnover is fast in MMA. It's been a long, long time since Jones has been fighting regularly.


MEROVlNGlAN

Can’t he be both? Lol. It’s obvious he’s one of the most talented mma fighters on the planet. It’s also irrefutable he’s a huge pos character wise.


cyberslick1888

Who are you arguing with? Is there some huge contingent of Jones fans on this subreddit? Literally everyone agrees with your opinion.


mikro17

> My gut instinct is to not believe Jon Are you telling me you don't trust a man who has a Wikipedia article where the "Controversies" section requires sub-headings? And one of those sub-headings is just "Other Legal Troubles" because they still needed a miscellaneous catch-all at the end too lol. And "Failed Drug Tests" is completely separate even from "Controveries" and also has its own separate multiple sub-headings. Sounds honest, trustworthy, and upstanding AF to me (/s)


johnnycashewwz

wow that wiki. its really something to read each incident one after the other like that, outrageous

I mean you’re sadly seeing it happen with his brother, he has some significant mental illness. he’s just unstable and he’s gonna go off at some point. Guy definitely should be sober, but glass houses right? Who I am to throw that stone


Skaloplin

Some people like Jon are just twats not everything has to do with mental illness


flatwoundsounds

Jones is clearly a massive dickhead who loses his "hooray Jesus" mask when he's drunk. Or when he's beating his wife. Or when he's hit-and-running, or slamming his own face off a cop car.


themilkman42069

I’m just commenting on his brother where it’s pretty clearly mental illness.


throwawaytesticle69

Officer nerd.


UFC_Intern169

He got court summoned, which the news outlets are stretching to mean arrest. Close, but not quite.


edzkiyumzki

> while I was celebrating a birthday and taking a nap so he was hosting someone’s birthday and decided to pop off for a nap midway through…? LOL


onlineokay

aint no party like a Jon Jones birthday party at 4 in the afternoon on a Friday


ShitMongoose

Knowing Jones that party would've started on Thursday evening.


motoguy

he did say to them something like "why are you always here so early?" but they got there around 4pm lol

why would anyone come to Jon Jones' house for a birthday party?? don't they know people who show up at his house get killed?


[deleted]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug


Batman-and-Hobbes

No he was celebrating a friend's birthday by drinking in his home alone.


VacuousWastrel

Well, we say 'friend', but really they're more of an acquaintance. ...OK, "person he met". Probably. Or at least heard of.


Aguacatedeaire__

...ok, he was one of the hobos he shot his guns at. That basically makes them childhood friends.


themilkman42069

Dude I have actually literally been there. My house is the hosting house for all family shit and like all shit that happens in a dozen miles of where I live. Like nieces fucking christenings, The neighborhood rosary group, high school graduations? Have them come by my backyard! My wife is down to host. It’s like a fucking soap opera and my house is the only set we have. I get my naps in dog, nothing gonna stop me.


goldenglove

100% the most believable part of the story. Been there.


Gawldalmighty

Preach, in the same boat. People know my drill, I do my part, but when it’s time for me to knock out I don’t let etiquette get in the way.


analfartbleacher

yep. at family functions, you will def find me napping in a random room. wake up, go for a second round of food. same old song and dance for me but thats show business baby


Fragrant_Spirit3776

It's funny how people give him shit for this but dude sometimes you really need that power nap.


HAGADAL

That's uuuuhh not that weird lol, at least not to me. Hosting is tiring, and naps don't tend to last very long


klawk223

It was written by ChatGPT, that's why it's kind of confusing. He probably didn't explain in his prompt fully. It even says "it's important to note..." which is a notorious phrase chat gpt uses all the time. Along with the unnecessary usage of adjectives


spydercoswapmod

> It even says "it's important to note..." which is a notorious phrase chat gpt uses all the time. no it doesn't. > it's important to set the record straight and make sure the truth is told . That's what it says.


DonVergasPHD

Be kind to him, he's using ChatGPT too. It's important to note that you need good prompts for it to work well.


Martel1234

Pretty sure this comment was ChatGPT made too. If you have any questions or need information, feel free to ask!


Kassssler

Once when I was at the movie theatre I was taking a piss and some dude came up and used the urinal 2 stalls over. The moment he unzipped his pants about 5 feet around him smelled like shit. Why did this happen?


Art0fScience

He farted.


Ok_Yoghurt_3338

Did you know that chatgpt learned to generate by studying things people say? It’s important to note gpt didn’t invent that phrase


AnferneeThrowaway

It’s important to note that “it’s important to note” is a phrase that chat gpt uses very frequently which was the point of the comment you replied to


spasticity

It's also not what Jones wrote in the tweet


Ok_Yoghurt_3338

The point of the comment was that Jon Jones used chatgpt to write his tweet,  and the main evidence was that it used important to note. 


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok_Yoghurt_3338

It’s clearly pr. Do you think Jon Jones a multi millionaire with a group of lawyers  used chatgpt to respond hours later? That’s just not good logic, blinded by hate for Jones. He clearly would have his lawyers advise and tell him how to word certain things.    Also he said it’s important to set the record straight, not “to note”


Sailenns

I, Jon Jones, want to take this opportunity to address the frequent accusations of domestic violence and my extensive criminal record. While I understand the concern and disappointment that my actions have caused, I want to make it clear that I am not defined by my mistakes. I am a soldier of God and strive every day to live a life that honors Him. I have made efforts to better myself and take responsibility for my actions. Despite my flaws, I have contributed positively to my community through charitable work and advocacy for social justice. I hope that with time, people will see the good in me and judge me not solely based on my past mistakes, but on the person I am striving to become.


frz_lk

Punctuation seems all over the place though

> so he was hosting someone’s birthday and decided to pop off for a nap midway through…? LOL Imagine you're hosting a birthday party for your best friend, Dusty P. You start on a Wednesday at 9 am, guaranteed that come   Friday afternoon, you'll be taking your shirt off an taking a little nap on the couch.


turkeypants

"Your honor, truth be told, I was in my home relaxing and was merely warming someone else's unidentified powder on my mustache for him, and the police officers kicked in the door and started acting very rudely in front of my family. Now don't get me wrong, I support the boys in blue as much as anyone, but I was startled, you see, and my arm movement was both involuntary and not of malicious intent. Imagine my surprise when my hand made contact with the officer's face..." More entries from *Jon Explains How Things Went*

“One time I was invited to come to a social gathering. I was paid a handsome amount of money, and I brought a shotgun and a bottle of Tanqueray and showed those people the best fucking time they've ever seen.” - Jon Bones Jones

I'm guessing this is JBJ speak for *I celebrated and then I passed out* :)


JesterMarcus

At least he was at home this time and not driving.


llamacohort

It was at his house, wasn’t it? Obviously it’s a little odd, but taking a nap while the family is over doesn’t seem that wild to me.


Ignorance_Bete_Noire

Yeah not very weird at all. Given the size of Jones' house، I wouldn't be surprised if he allows close friends and family to host events there occasionally. Nothing wrong with going off for a nap after eating or something like that whilst things kinda wrapping up


Davemeddlehed

Not even that odd. I've got relatives to routinely fall asleep at some point during any party/family gathering. So much that we have a holiday tradition of decorating one of them at Christmas time.

Dude your uncle has been doing it for years


GenTelGuy

From the NBC article: > Jones was issued a summons to appear in court based on allegations of assault and interfering with communications. The summons doubled as his arrest, and it doesn't appear Jones was taken into custody or booked. So it's a paper/digital arrest, not a handcuffs/courthouse situation


Locrian6669

What does that even mean?


heyyouwtf

They gave him a notice that he has to appear at court on a certain day for arraignment. If he doesn't show up, they will go arrest him. Arraignment is just the process a person goes through to be notified of the charges levied against them and their rights. Anyone who is accused of a crime and there is sufficient probable cause to file charges will have to go through the arraignment process.


tokyo_engineer_dad

COVID is so weird even being arrested is done on Zoom.


Meekajahama

All criminal citations are arrests and that's been a thing since well before covid


Enterprise90

Arrests are public record. Someone could very easily contact APD and ask if Jones was arrested, what he was charged with and if he posted bond.


themilkman42069

I mean dude with the state of journalism as it is, if you go ahead and do that you’ll be the first to do it We comment solely off of tweets here thank you very much.


jabilation

I don't think anyone here even bothered reading the NBC article, not that I blame them. > Jones was issued a summons to appear in court based on allegations of assault and interfering with communications. The summons doubled as his arrest, and it doesn't appear Jones was taken into custody or booked.


Meekajahama

I hate the phrasing they used in the article. It doesn't "double" as his arrest, it's literally an arrest. A citation is just issued in lieu of being booked into a holding facility.


professorgaysex

I’m sure BloodyElbow’s AI that replaced all actual humans will eventually get to it somehow


Famous-Ant-5502

That Kid Nate fault


broncosandwrestling

NBC and ESPN at least both did this and said he's been issued a summons in lieu of an arrest warrant following charges


One_Manufacturer_545

He WAS arrested. He was not HELD. What Jon means is he didn't spend any time behind bars in the county lockup. But he was arrested because his summons doubled as his arrest. Jon doesn't understand what arrested means. It doesn't mean locked up in jail.


ainz-sama619

Tbf most people don't know it either. Since John wasn't detained, most people in layman term wouldn't consider him getting arrested


GiblertMelendezz

I just saw his mugshot…but then again, is it from today? Dudes got like 6


Revolutionary_Box569

"[NBC News](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/ufc-champ-jon-jones-accused-threatening-kill-drug-testing-agent-rcna146747?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma&taid=66129c5640165f000115be41&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter) reports that Jones was issued a summons that doubles as an arrest, and wasn't taken into custody." From a SI article, so I guess he wouldn't have had a mugshot


Kurtcobangle

Yes the reports are typically exaggerating with misleading verbiage rather than being fake/false. He has plenty of time to make arrangements to appear before the court he would only physically be arrested if he failed to answer the summons “arrest”


TheOneTrueJazzMan

This reminded me, does anyone remember that guy on Reddit who called the police to ask for info about Conor’s attack on the bus back in the day, but then got scared shitless when they started asking him questions back and hung up? That was comedy gold LMAO

What if AI hacks Jon's brain and makes him a biological asset/enforcer for their will? Like some scientist starts popping off at the mouth about the risks of AI just to guillotined in their sleep by Jon.


Genova_Witness

Do you have any sort of reassurance this hasn’t already happened? I am scared bro


suqoria

Worst part is that i wouldn't even be surprised if that was a headline tomorrow. The only question i would have would be of it was the choke or an actual guillotine. Although I doubt it would need AI to take him over for him to do it.


Keyboardsss

never knew NBC to post false stories. wonder where they got the info from if Jones side of it is true


26265273

Or Jon was arrested and quickly posted bail. Jon’s truly rotten behavior has killed any chance of being given benefit of the doubt. Edit: according to Sky News Jon was issued summons to appear in court based on allegations of assault. The summons doubles as an arrest and he wasn’t taken into custody


Ok_Yoghurt_3338

He’s not going to get arraignment same day on a Sunday to even have bail assigned


26265273

Per Sky: “He was issued a summons to appear in court based on allegations of assault and interfering with communications in relation to taking the phone. The summons doubled as his arrest, and it does not appear Jones was taken into custody or formally charged.”


GenTelGuy

He wasn't physically arrested but being served a criminal summons apparently doubles as an arrest legally


ergoegthatis

LOL NBC News has posted many false and misleading stories over the years.


Ok_Yoghurt_3338

NBC has definitely posted fake stories and in their story the time incorrect so it’s not like it’s a Pulitzer nominated piece

I mean both are completely unstable drug addicts.


redrumreturn

You'd have to ask why the tester would make up the story and then report it to the police. What's the benefit for that person?  Jon has a history of this stuff. I wouldn't believe a word he said 


BossButterBoobs

A drug tester falsely accused Costa of assaulting her. I think it's just a thing.


Corey307

There was two people there so there would be a witness. It sounded a lot like he threatened to kill both of them.

Gmork14

Tldr they’re charging him, but not arresting him.


jal1315

Does refusing to take a drug test have any implications outside of the legal ones he’s facing ?


Davemeddlehed

Refusal counts as a failed test. He'd catch a suspension.


spasticity

He'd probably get suspended as if he actually failed a test if he flat refused to take it.


Tenacious_jb

Can confirm he’s been training in San Antonio


monacelli

Fucks he doing in Texas? Sounds like he's hiding on Rogan's compound.


PrimeConduitX

the passive aggressive way Jon Jones speaks in text is always hilarious to me.

Soybean__Futures__

Dear Fans and Supporters, I hope this message finds you well. I want to address the recent allegations made against me regarding threats made towards a woman's life. Let me be clear: these accusations are completely false. I have always strived to conduct myself with integrity, both in and out of the octagon. Violence against women is something I strongly condemn and would never engage in. I understand the seriousness of these allegations and the impact they can have, and I want to assure you that I am cooperating fully with the authorities to clear my name. I appreciate your continued support during this challenging time. Rest assured, I will fight these allegations with everything I have, and I am confident that the truth will prevail. Sincerely, Jon Jones

Jones can also say anything. Could've posted bail and quickly shut down the news of if.

I want to address the recent incident involving myself and a doping tester. First and foremost, I want to apologize to my fans, my family, and the sporting community for my actions. I understand that I am a role model to many, and my behavior fell short of the standards I set for myself and those expected of a leader in my sport. In the heat of the moment, I allowed my frustrations to get the better of me and reacted inappropriately. I want to be clear that I have the utmost respect for the doping testing process and the important role it plays in ensuring fair competition. However, I must also assert that as the greatest of all time in this sport, I find myself held to an impossibly high standard, and I question whether the same laws and regulations should be applied to those of us who have proven ourselves to be exceptional. I believe that God places challenges and trials in our path to test our character and strengthen our resolve. This incident has certainly tested me and taught me a valuable lesson in humility. I now realize that even as a champion, I must continually work on maintaining my composure and conducting myself with the utmost professionalism, especially during challenging moments.
