Jon Jones has been in a lot of trouble throughout his life and things have only gotten worse. He got in trouble in Las Vegas after his Hall-of-Fame induction for Domestic Violence and ‘headbutting a police car.'
The incidents were violent and very sad for his victims. There was one moment in ESPN‘s report that stood out.
The Las Vegas PD almost had to taser Jon Jones after the former UFC light heavyweight champion jokingly pretended he was going to attack the Police Officers.
Here is the excerpt from ESPN's report:
“After the interview, police said that Jones ‘stated jokingly that he would like to take us all on and see what we could do.' Jones, per the report, feinted like he was going to escape the handcuffs and fight the police officers. The officers told Jones that they were not joking around and that they would use a Taser on him if he continued with that behavior. Jones apologized, the report stated.”
Jon Jones is a 6'4 UFC fighter that is currently moving up to heavyweight. The incident could have had serious consequences with Police forced to react quickly if they perceived a threat.
It's unclear what Jon Jones' future is in the UFC or even if he still has one. There have been calls for the UFC to cut him from the roster.
His behavior has been troubling and he has claimed he won't touch alcohol again on his Instagram. He is due in court on October 29 in Las Vegas.
