2021 ended in a terrible way for the former light heavyweight UFC champion. Right after being inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, Jon Jones was arrested in Las Vegas in his hotel for battery and domestic violence. The fighter was arrested on September 25th, 2021.
The bodycam footage shows Jones damaging the police vehicle as he is being taken under custody with his hands cuffed behind his back. The fighter cannot control his emotions as he headbutts the police car and also hurls insults at the police officers. The fighter was also alleged to have directed racial slurs towards the officers.

“I hate you! You f*king nerd” screams Jon Jones at the officers
In the video Jones is seen saying, “Why are you doing this? This is so humiliating. I got the Hall of Fame tonight and then you’re gonna put me on this by walking down the street.” The fighter also makes sure he asks the names of the officers before he hurls insults towards them.
“You f**king nerd, I hate you! I hate you! You f**king nerd! I hate you so much! Bro hang me, hurt me, and kill me. What did I do? A Black man can’t drink?! Getting elected into the Hall of Fame, and this is what I got?!” said a delirious Jones in the bodycam footage by Las Vegas Review-Journal. “I came from my Hall of Fame ceremony, and I’m black, and I have my friends, and I did nothing to you.”
The police were called up to the hotel after Jones’ fiancee, Jessie Moses was beaten up by the fighter. The police report showed that there were noticeable blood stains on her clothing. However, in December, Jones was dismissed from the domestic violence charge.
