Jon Jones calls cop 'f—ing liar,' 'pig' after being ticketed for drag racing

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones denied wrongdoing after he was pulled over by police and issued five tickets, including one for drag racing, last week in Albuquerque, N.M.

Jones, who is on probation from a hit-and-run conviction last year, said on Monday's MMA Hour he jokingly revved his engine while stopped at a red light for fans, but just after the light turned green, he was pulled over by police.

During the traffic stop, things got heated between a police officer and Jones, who was warned this month by a judge not to get any other tickets.
