Jon Jones makes contradictory statements regarding death threat accusations

Jon Jones recently made headlines again. However, this time he was in the news for a controversial act against a Drug Free Sport International official. According to a report filed by two drug testing officials at the Albuquerque Police Department, Jones allegedly terrorized them when they paid him a visit at his residence for an out-of-competition drug test. They mentioned report claims that he also gave death threats to them by saying, “Why you f***ing people come so early? Do you know what happens to people who come to my house? They end up dead.” 

Jon Jones has responded to those accusations by providing the CCTV footage from March 30, which was the day when he was paid a visit by the DPSI officials. He claimed to have been angry because the drug testers appeared unprofessional. However, in the end, things went well and one of the officials even high-fived him. “Although I was frustrated with the unprofessionalism and used profanity out of frustration it ended friendly and amicably, nothing threatening at all,” wrote Jones on his Instagram. The investigation regarding the criminal act has been launched by law enforcement and he could find himself in court soon.

Ali Abdelaziz shuts down Dana White’s claim about UFC GOAT and advocates for Khabib Nurmagomedov

Jon Jones is by far the greatest UFC fighter ever. That’s what Dana White claims. However, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s former manager Ali Abdelaziz seems to have a different opinion about it. He indirectly took shots at Jones, indicating his troubles with doping violations by mentioning the name of the former American baseball player, Barry Bonds. “Barry Bonds is still not in Hall of Fame… But Barry Bonds cheated. Khabib never cheated,” Abdelaziz stated.

He further shared some statistical facts about Khabib Nurmagomedov’s performances throughout his MMA career. The stats clearly indicate that there is no one better than ‘The Eagle’, according to his former manager. “[Khabib] lost one round in his whole career, over 100 rounds he fought, never been dropped, never have a bloody eye, never have a bloody nose. He’s the man that has never been touched,” Ali Abdelaziz added. It remains to be if Dana White responds to this statement in the future.

Sean Strickland sounds off on the judges’ scorecard for Allen vs Curtis 2

Brendan Allen was finally able to avenge his loss against Chris Curtis at UFC Vegas 90. He defeated ‘The Action Man’ via a unanimous decision and extended his winning streak to seven fights. However, Curtis’ friend and training partner, Sean Strickland, did not seem too impressed with the judges’ score for the fight and sounded off about it on social media, while citing that Curtis recently welcomed his newborn child.

“As a friend of Curt that scorecard is embarrassing lmao… I’m not saying because I’m his friend. He had his newborn and just wanted a few months to chill out and he comes off the couch and out strikes a guy with a full camp…embarrassing,” Sean Strickland responded to Marvin Vettori, who also weighed in on the fight. Chris Curtis now has 2 losses in his last four fights and only one victory. He might have to go back in the line for a chance to fight for the title since his recent record has not been up to the mark.
