It was reported earlier today on various news sites that UFC light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones was involved in a hit and run accident involving a middle age women in Albuquerque New Mexico. The women was sent to the hospital with non life threatening injuries. It was also reported that drugs were found at the scene but that rumor was not confirmed.
It is now being said via mma fighting that the Albuquerque PD is looking to question Jones about the incident, however Jones’ whereabouts are unknown. At this moment he is not being looked at as a suspect. This is what the Albuquerque PD had to say about the matter
We can not confirm that Jon Jones was involved in a H&R traffic accident from this morning. The investigation is ongoing.
Jones is scheduled to defend his title next month at UFC 187 against Anthony Rumble Johnson but it is now believed that the fight is in jeopardy.
This wouldn’t be the first time Jones has be in a troublesome situustion. Earlier this year be tested postive for cocaine following his bout with Daniel Cormier. This sent the champion to rehab but he shortly checked himself out after just 24 hours.
It should also be noted that Jones was not penalized for testing “dirty” and many fans feel that he should be stripped of the title especially if he was directly involved in this hit and run. I may not be found of Jones but to me it seems like he needs help and I sincerely hope he gets it.
Only time will tell what will happen with this situation. We here at WNB will keep you all updated on the matter so keep checking back for updates.
