Jon Jones Pulled Over Again in Albuquerque, Cited for Drag Racing, 4 Other Violations
Less than a month out from his rematch with UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, former titleholder Jon Jones on Monday revealed that he was once again pulled over by Albuquerque, N.M. police and cited with drag racing.
Jones, a guest on Monday's The MMA Hour, said that he was recently pulled over by an Albuquerque Police Department officer, whom he says was immediately confrontational, and eventually issued five citations.

Albuquerque Public Information Officer Tanner Tixier confirmed the citations to MMAWeekly.com. Tixier said that in addition to the drag racing citation, Jones was also cited for exhibition of speed (which generally involves revving the engine of the vehicle), a license plate issue, a lane violation, and an equipment issue for having a modified muffler that violates city ordinances.
Jones also said on The MMA Hour that the officer that pulled him over was immediately confrontation, but admitted that he, Jones, did not handle the confrontation appropriately, saying some things he later regretted, although he fell short of revealing what was said.
“I just felt the guy was confrontational from the very first second. I’m like ‘bro, I’m the last guy you can give a ticket to for drag racing.' He was adamant. He gave me five tickets,” said Jones, who maintained that he was not drag racing and that he was innocent.
Jones has a rematch scheduled with Cormier as the UFC 197 headliner on April 23 in Las Vegas. He also remains on probation for a felony hit-and-run incident from April of 2015 and was also cited in January in Albuquerque after being pulled over for driving 75 miles per hour in a 35-mile-per-hour zone. Despite all of that, Jones doesn't think the current incident will affect his fight with Cormier.
“No, I don’t think that is the case. I asked my probation officer about it right away. I don’t think anything is going to be happening there. It doesn’t affect the fight at all,” he said. “My actual court date will be after the fight.”
When asked about the situation, UFC Vice President of Public Relations Dave Sholler told MMAWeekly.com, “We are aware of the situation and are looking into the matter. We've also been in touch with Jon's team regarding the matter.”
Maintaining his innocence, Jones said that he handed the drag racing incident over to his lawyers, saying that he won't let it bother him in his preparation for the Cormier rematch. In fact, he seemed to draw strength from it.
“When you know you’re innocent, it makes you feel confident. It makes me feel like I’m getting ready to win that belt back. I’m just staying positive. I’m just sprinting toward the finish line.”
