Jon Jones’ week has gone from bad to worse after he was arrested today for a probation violation stemming from a recent traffic violation for allegedly drag racing.
Although Jones has denied the accusations, he’s currently on probation after being involved in a hit-and-run accident in April 2015, the traffic citations are deemed a violation of his probation agreement, and he turned himself in to police in Albuquerque, N.M.
Jones’ (21-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) history of police interaction continues to get longer, and it’s unknown if his UFC 197 light heavyweight title fight on April 23 with champion Daniel Cormier (17-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) will be impacted by the issue.
