ABQ police say no one in custody named Jon/Jonathan Jones so unless he's still on the run and in hiding somehow this is probably bullshit.

 

[Lazyslob]

It'd be sad that he didn't get his shit together after his first time getting caught with coke and also his first DUI crash. Jon Jones is not a champion.

hes not a moral champion :'(

jon jones is an idiot but i wanted to see him beat by a fighter not booger sugar

uncle dana got to them

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Remember when that guy at the Q and A told Jon: "Like Kanye West, it is so hard to be your fan."

I wonder what that guy is thinking right now.

 

[Inertia Creeps]

Yea this is the "Mr. Jones" that was actually arrested at the scene of a car crash in New Mexico today... lol

You can't really fuck it up that bad. Hundreds of Joneses are probably arrested daily.

Whether JBJ got arrested, well we'll find out soon.

 

[TheKaeptain]

We need this to be true so the MMA community can turn on Dana White and he gets fired.

 

[Lazyslob]

i dont know what to believe in so ill believe in chael

 

[ShenmueDojo]

I wonder if he was driving this?

UPDATE- I jumped the gun regarding the Jon Jones. Got caught up in the story. Not enough information for me to make the claims I did.

Guy who broke the story is backtracking now

 

[Fergie]

@FrontRowBrian: Jon Jones is NOT in custody. All I can confirm is that Jon was involved in a car accident and we’ll have to see how it plays out.

What is going on?

lol. frontrowbrian back peddling.

There´s nothing to see here, move along

 

[TheKaeptain]

Dreams of Dana getting fired ruined

 

[TheKaeptain]

@ABQPOLICE
We CANNOT confirm that Jon Jones was involved in a H&R traffic accident from this morning. The investigation is ongoing.

...

 

[dream]

It is important to note that they can't deny it either.

 

[alr1ght]

Something went down. He is confirmed to be out of 187, though.
http://www.mmaweekly.com/light-heav...f-ufc-187-title-fight-against-anthony-johnson

Light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is out of his scheduled UFC 187 title fight against Anthony Johnson. Sources confirmed the development to MMAWeekly.com on Sunday.

Unconfirmed reports swirled on Sunday afternoon alleging that Jones was involved in a hit and run accident in Albuquerque on Saturday evening, although MMAWeekly was not able to confirm those reports.

Something happened as Bones is still out.

[CadetMahoney]

So no one got injured he just took off after he crashed himself.

That's not a confirmation, that's a website citing anonymous sources. I need to see it on ufc.tv.

 

[slightconfuse]

Front row Bryan was mets fan forever

 

[Inertia Creeps]

That's not a confirmation, that's a website citing anonymous sources. I need to see it on ufc.tv.

Yea they "confirmed" that it really was a hit and run until the guys who started the rumors started backtracking so now they stealth edited it to he's just "confirmed" out of UFC 187. I wouldn't say either way if this is complete bullshit or really true in some capacity but unless Helwani says something concrete I wouldn't really trust any other "source" reporting on this right now.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Something happened. BSL isn't going to run his mouth for no reason.

 

[Kiever Sher]

We cannot at this time confirm that something didn't in fact happen in the past few days that could maybe concern someone named Jones. Maybe. You heard it here first.

 

[strikeselect]

I just find it really weird and out of character for Jon. Sundays are usually his church days.

 

[Kiever Sher]

He's just an entertainer lads.

 

[freenudemacusers]

He's just an entertainer lads.

what a pathetic cop out. i hope he gets shit on endlessly.

 

[TheKaeptain]

FRB has broken more stories than Ariel has.

 

[Messi]

He's just an entertainer lads.

 

[scabro]

hes right though.

hes just a dude on twitter who knows some people. people believing him is on them.

 

[Dysun]

[Lazyslob]

He's just an entertainer lads.

well its true. its your fault if you look to that guy for groundbreaking news

 

[DKehoe]

what a pathetic cop out. i hope he gets shit on endlessly.

FRB is pretty much a gimmick account that occasionally does actually break news becuase the guy knows people. He's friends with Chael among others.

 

[Obliterator]

Unless its from Helwani, Luke Thomas, John Morgan or the UFCs mouths I'm not buying any othese reports.

 

[dream]

It's also worth noting that FRB, unlike Helwani, is not on the Zuffa payroll.

 

[whytemyke]

My buddy and I were watching the fights last night when they showed the ad for the next big card, with both Jones and Weidman fighting. I joked that there's no way that card is happening as is.

So part of me kinda wants this stuff to be true, cuz seeing Dana deal with it would be hilarious.

 

[Obliterator]

It's also worth noting that FRB, unlike Helwani, is not on the Zuffa payroll.

That may be true but he really is the best journo in the business. Luke Thomas and John Morgan are great too and neither one of them are saying anything about this

Dave Meltzer is on the case bro

 

[DKehoe]

Ariel is a presenter, he's not really a journalist.

Dave Meltzer is on the case bro

Dave Meltzer is where it's at.

 

[Inertia Creeps]

Soooo the mmaweekly story on Jones being out of 187 has been straight up pulled down now, nowhere to be found on the front page or the "news" section...

Forget the Reebok deal, Jones might have some serious defamation $$$$ incoming if this really is all complete bull (which is looking more and more likely).

 

[Obliterator]

Ariel is a presenter, he's not really a journalist.


Dave Meltzer is where it's at.

I cant say I disagree really, but he can break massive news when and if he wants to. No one in MMA is as connected as he is outside of basically Zuffa themselves


Meltzer is solid I agree. I prefer Thomas and Morgan but Meltz is legit. He hasn't said anything is going on?

 

[Archaix]

Well I never. That's the last time I ever go to "FrontRowBrian" for my news. I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to his editor. I'm sure I can find out who that is online somewhere...

 

[Heel]

Meltzer is buddy-buddy with FrontRowBrian. What's that tell you?

 

[TheKaeptain]

I cant say I disagree really, but he can break massive news when and if he wants to. No one in MMA is as connected as he is outside of basically Zuffa themselves

That's because he is on their pay roll.

 

[dream]

He hasn't, but he's on assignment covering "WWE Extreme Rules" right now.
