The heavyweight division of the UFC was in a dilemma after Jon Jones’s injury and seems like problems are just increasing for the promotion as well as the heavyweight champion. Jones has been away from the Octagon since his pectoral injury but seems like problems are just knocking on ‘Bones’ doors day and night.

UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones was accused of harshly misbehaving with the drug officials who came to his house for drug testing. According to the sources, Jones not only assaulted but threatened the DSFI officials on March 30, and based on such allegations, Jones was arrested by the New Mexico police last Saturday. The UFC CEO, Dana White kept his silence since then but seems like he had to come forward to give his two cents.

Dana White gave his opinion on Jon Jones’s arrest

According to the victim, Crystal Martinez, she and her colleague Jerome arrived at his residence at 4 pm and the Hall of Famer cooperated for the most part but did not do the urine test according to reports. She further quoted that Jon Jones misbehaved with them but the CCTV footage of the UFC fighter’s house says otherwise

Regardless, Jones has denied the allegation but is still cooperating with the proceedings. Through the help of his social media, Jones uploaded several CCTV footage where it can be seen him cooperating with the DFSI officials and giving high five to them. Nonetheless, Dana White has taken cognizance of the situation.
