Crystal Martinez accused Jones of being rude, snatching her phone away, and even giving her a death threat. She would later go on to file a police complaint, noting that Jones was unhappy because of several things that allegedly went wrong during their visit.

Jones later told the fans that he was taking a nap after celebrating a birthday and was disturbed by the sample collectors. It was also reported that he was unable to urinate for a test and became irritated over the idea of a blood test instead. Rumors soon followed that Jones had been arrested following the complaint but he was in fact, a free man and came in the open to clear out the rumors.

“I wanted to address some misinformation that has been circulating this morning . I woke up to false reports that I had been arrested . I have not been arrested. In fact, I am currently in Texas with my daughters at a volleyball tournament.” he wrote on his X handle.

“I was recently visited by testers while I was celebrating a birthday and taking a nap. Upon waking up, I was caught off guard by the unprofessionalism and protocol by one of the testers which caused frustration leading me to use some profanity I regret. However, I want to emphasize that at no point did I threaten , get in anyone’s face , raise my voice to anyone or engage in any form of assault.” Clearly, misinformation has plagued the UFC heavyweight champion after the recent incident.
