Pros react to Jon Jones' latest police run-in, arrest

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones turned himself into police Tuesday morning following his latest run-in with the Albuquerque Police Department.

The arrest stemmed from a probation violation due to a controversial incident last week which saw the pound-for-pound great receive five traffic tickets, including one for drag racing. In body camera footage released Monday, a furious Jones called the officer a "f*cking liar" and a "pig," while adamantly denying any wrongdoing. As of this writing, Jones is still scheduled to rematch UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier on April 23 at UFC 197.
