Protests continue to manifest throughout the United States in light of the police killing of George Floyd. People have had enough of police brutality and are trying to make a genuine change so that these incidents never happen again. However, some people have been hijacking the movement to cause mischief and vandalism. 

Last night in New Mexico, UFC legend Jon Jones went out and took matters into his own hands as he confronted vandals on the street and took paint cans away from them. In the clip below, Jones can be seen going off on those who would rather cause destruction than make a real difference. He also offered his take on what’s happening through a strongly worded caption.

Per Jones:

“Is this shit even about George Floyd anymore?!? Why the fuck are you punk ass teenagers destroying our cities!?? ?? As a young black man trust me I’m frustrated as well but this is not the way, we are starting to make a bad situation worse. If you really got love for your city (505), protect your shit. All you old heads need to speak up, call your young family members and tell them to come home tonight.”

Throughout the next few days, we will surely see protests continue to ramp up all across the country. With this in mind, we urge those protesting to stay safe and that we support them during this time.

Jon Jones is one of the best UFC fighters to ever live although his issues with drugs and PEDs have gotten him into trouble in the past. Most recently, Jones has been beefing with UFC president Dana White over a potential fight with Francis Ngannou. Jones wants more money but White won't give it to him. In fact, White said Jones wants $30 million per fight which is something Jones labeled as BS.

Last night after UFC Fight Night, White spoke on the Jones drama and had some strong words of the UFC superstar. Of course, Jones quickly clapped back in the early hours of the morning.

Jon Jones has been through a lot when it comes to the UFC over the past few yearsJon Jones has been through a lot when it comes to the UFC over the past few years although most of it has to do with his reputation in terms of drug use. Jones has been caught red-handed numerous times and while many consider him to be the GOAT, others find his constant antics offputting, to say the least.

Now, Jones has found himself embedded in a feud with Dana White over money. According to Dana White, Jones wants $30 million to fight Francis Ngannou, which is why the fight won't actually end up happening. As White said, Jones wants Deontay Wilder money. Well, Jones didn't like White's comments and immediately lashed out on social media where he accused the UFC president of being a liar and told White to release him from his contract.

Conor McGregor is one of the biggest names in the entire UFC right now and he has steadily been making a name for himself over the last 10 years. If you're a fan of combat sports, you definitely know who McGregor is. In some people's eyes, he is one of the best to ever do it although his record would most likely say otherwise. He is certainly entertaining but there have been blemishes on his career that need to be taken into account.

Recently, McGregor took to Twitter where he revealed who he thinks are the greatest UFC fighters ever. In the convoluted Twitter thread below, McGregor notes that Anderson Silver is number one, McGregor himself is close behind at number two, while Georges St-Pierre and Jon Jones are practically tied at number three.

Jon Jones was arrested in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Thursday morning and was hit with three charges. The main charges had to do with driving while intoxicated, as well as negligent use of a deadly weapon. Jones was found in his jeep while a firearm and half-empty bottle of tequila were next to him. Police were prompted to approach his vehicle after a report that he had allegedly shot off a round.

According to TMZ, the video of the arrest has been made public thanks to body-cam footage taken by one of the officers. In the video below, Jones appears to be slurring his words as he explains that he needed to get out of the house because the pandemic is making him go stir-crazy.

“I literally just got stir-crazy,” Jones said. “I just wanted to have a drive. This is my first drive in 2 weeks. And, I saw these homeless guys. I was being nice to them, having a conversation with them, treating them like humans.”

After being arrested, Jones began to cry as he was escorted into the police vehicle. It was then that he admitted he was scared for his family and even said he wanted to be a police officer growing up.

Jon Jones is a legendary UFC fighter who will most likely go down as the greatest fighter to ever do it. Unfortunately, he has had his fair share of problems with the law. According to TMZ, Jones faced yet another issue as he was arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning in New Mexico. He was hit with charges of Driving While Intoxicated, Possession of an Open Container, and Negligent Use of a Deadly Weapon.

This all started when police responded to a report that someone had fired off a weapon at 1 AM in Albuquerque. Once cops got onto the scene, they found Jones sitting in his new Jeep where he appeared to be heavily intoxicated and even smelled of alcohol. After doing a search of the car, they found a handgun and a bottle of tequila that appeared to be half-empty.

A breathalyzer test was performed on Jones and as you can imagine, he failed twice. As of right now, this story is still developing so we will make sure to give you the latest updates as soon as they become available.

Jones’ last fight was a win against Dominick Reyes to keep his undefeated record. It remains to be seen how the UFC will react to this latest legal trouble.

Saturday night,  Jan Blachowicz took down opponent Corey Anderson in The UFC on ESPN+ 25 main event matchup. Blachowicz ((26-8 MMA, 9-5 UFC) secured the win at just the 3:08 mark in the first round with a knockout. The monumental win over Anderson (13-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC), makes him a prime contender to face off with Jon Jones for Jones' light heavyweight title.

Most had Anderson as a clear win early on, predicting that he would be the one fight for Jones' title, but in a post-match interview, Jones praised Blachowcz while highlighting where Anderson's overzealous confidence went wrong.

“That was an awesome fight,” Jones told MMA Junkie. “I thought Jan Blachowicz did a hell of a job. His boxing looked great [...] Corey seemed slow tonight. It seemed like something wasn’t clicking in there. He looked slower and more hesitant on his takedowns. Honestly, I think he was more worried about fighting me than fighting Jan Blachowicz. It showed a valuable lesson of what happens when you look past opponents. I think Corey Anderson tasted humble pie tonight.”

He went on to double down on his sentiments as he spoke on the UFC post-fight show on ESPN+: “I was happy to see Corey Anderson eat his words.”

But, the digs didn't stop there. Jones would conclude the evening by calling out Anderson on Twitter before hanging it up.

UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones took to twitter on Tuesday night to respond to Dominick Reyes and other critics who feel that Reyes was 'robbed' in the main event of UFC 247. A majority of MMA fans and analysts seemed to share the belief that Reyes took the first three rounds, while Jones earned the "Championship Rounds," however the judges didn't see it that way. 

According to Jones, fight fans shouldn't be upset with the judges but rather how Reyes "completely stopped fighting in the championship rounds."

In a series of tweets, Jones defended the judges' ruling.

"Dominic out struck me by literally 12 shots. I scored the take downs, was the aggressor, control the octagon every round, had more significant strikes landed.. Dom completely stopped fighting in the championship rounds and has the audacity to be mad at the judges."

"Don’t be mad at the judges, be mad at Dom’s conditioning guy. man started to give up when the water got deep and is now going around doing interviews talking about being robbed. When will these young boys start taking responsibility that’s what’s wrong with boys these days."

Among Jones' twitter rant were a couple of messages that he later deleted, but not before fans could screenshot his comments. Two of his since-deleted tweets read:

"I feel like critics are throwing around the word robbed way too freely, there's a huge difference between a close fight and a flat out robbery."

"If anyone was robbed, it was Dom's fans, he robbed them of finishing the fight like a man. Going out on your shield isn't for everyone I guess."

As for the potential rematch that everyone seems to be calling for, Jones says, "Someone tell uncle Dana to give me a call." Check out his full string of tweets regarding UFC 247 below.

UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones thinks it's "inevitable" that he'll work with the WWE one day, following in the footsteps of former UFC legends Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey and Cain Velasquez. Jones, who just recently retained his title in a controversial bout with Dominick Reyes, says it'd be a "dream come true" to one day get inside the squared circle, even if it were just as a special guest.

UFC President Dana White had made it abundantly clear that he is hoping to book a rematch between undefeated Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor later this year. Their first clash ended in utter chaos, but White knows a good business opportunity when he sees one, and he believes Khabib-Conor II could set a UFC record for most pay-per-view buys.

Assuming Khabib successfully defends his title against Tony Ferguson at UFC 249 on April 18, fight fans should get to witness the highly anticipated rematch. That said, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones doesn’t expect the outcome to be any different.

During a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Jones explained why he’d put his money on “The Eagle” to retain the belt.

“I typically don’t go against wrestlers, if you were asking me as a betting man. Wrestlers have the power to dictate where the fight goes – whether it’s going to be a standing match, or whether he’s going to take him to the ground and make it a jiu-jitsu match. I think the cards are always kind of in Khabib’s hands. Conor definitely has a chance. But if I would put my money on it, I’m definitely going with Khabib, for sure.”

Despite all the chatter of a potential record-breaking rematch, Khabib and his team maintain that they’re wholly uninterested in granting McGregor a rematch, even if it were for $100 million.
