The arrest allegedly took place on Friday morning, just hours after Jones’ 2013 fight against Alexander Gustafsson was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in Las Vegas.

Jones’ adviser Richard Schaefer told ESPN: “The facts are still developing, we really don’t know yet the full story so I’m not going to make any comment until I have a chance to talk to Jon and until we see see how this plays out.”.

Jones, considered by many fans to be the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, has not competed since his victory over Dominick Reyes in February 2020.
