Although Jon Jones's career is ongoing, we can already speak of him grandly. After all, he is a former UFC light heavyweight champion and now the heavyweight champion.
After winning the belt, the American hasn't yet had the chance to defend it. Officially, this was supposed to happen on November 11, 2023, but we did not see Jones in action due to an injury before the fight with Stipe Miocic.
During his career, Jones has repeatedly had legal issues. Now, according to the media, the athlete is in trouble again. The British "Daily Mail" has already written about the whole situation.
Americans were forced to meet with USADA inspectors in March of this year. According to a woman who was among those who appeared at the UFC champion's house, he became so agitated that he began to threaten the employees, took their phones, and even attempted to assault her.
A trial has already taken place in this matter. According to the mentioned source, Jones faced two charges because he allegedly assaulted one of the inspectors. The 36-year-old did not plead guilty to the charges, and footage from his surveillance cameras shows him escorting the employees to the exit.
