VIDEO: Jon Jones Cited in ANOTHER Traffic Violation, Calls Officer a “F*cking Liar”


(Jon Jones: Turning the entire world into Daniel Cormier fans, one police officer at a time.)

We may be relatively early into the new year, but at this point, it would be safe to declare that Jon Jones might have The “Really? You’re Just Gonna Keep Doing That Shit That Gets You in All That Trouble?” Award a.k.a. “The Koppenhaver” locked up for this year’s Potato Awards.

Seemingly not satisfied with the pair of DUI-related car accidents he’s already been involved in, the former light heavyweight champion was nabbed yet again for speeding and driving without a license, registration, or insurance at the beginning of the year. While most of us would have probably accepted our shortcomings as a driver and hung up our keys by this point, Jon Jones is not most of us. As such, “Bones” was cited YET AGAIN last week for a handful of vehicle-related offenses, then proceeded to verbally berate the officer who pulled him over.

Video after the jump.

In an effort to spin the story before it even go out, Jones appeared on THE MMA Hour yesterday to rebuff his most recent citations, which included drag racing, driving with a modified exhaust and an illegible license plate, not staying in his lane, and “exhibition driving.”

“I definitely wasn’t drag racing,” said Jones. “He needed something to justify pulling me over. He fabricated the whole thing that I was drag racing.”

Jones then went on to apologize for losing his cool when dealing with the officer who pulled him over, the entire conversation of which was captured on the officer’s body cam and released on TMZ last night.

You can check out a complete description of the conversation over at BloodyElbow, but the tl;dr version is that Jones repeated called the officer a “f*cking liar” and a “pig” among other nasty things.

Being that the officer’s body cam didn’t appear to catch Jones in the act of drag racing, the legitimacy of the former champ’s claims remains a matter of opinion. Given Jones’ history behind the wheel, it’s easy to assume that he was probably guilty in this case, but at the same time, the timeliness in which the video surfaced online does come off as suspect to say the very least.

Whether he’s being targeted by Albuquerque police or not, one would assume that this would be the incident that forces Jones to hire a goddamn driver already. Then again, if breaking a pregnant woman’s and fleeing the scene didn’t already do that, who knows what will? One minute, the guy’s giving pep talks to local teens about the dangers of drunk driving, and the next, he’s doing 40 miles an hour over the speed limit and telling cops to go f*ck themselves. He is truly the Jason Miller of the road.

We’ll have more on this story as it develops, but in the meantime…
