Jon Jones seemingly incriminates himself for threatening a cop amid ongoing legal troubles for alleged hit-and-run incident

Jon Jones appeared to have unintentionally incriminated himself for threatening a police officer amid his ongoing legal issues for an alleged hit-and-run incident. Jones retired last Saturday, but it appears as though his latest legal issue has overshadowed it.

Jones was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run incident and a phone call was recorded via a cop's body cam, which shows the former UFC heavyweight champion seemingly utter serious threats. It remained unclear whether or not it was actually 'Bones' on the phone call, however, his latest post might have confirmed it.

MMA Junkie posted a screenshot and graphic of Jones' since-deleted X post, where he weighed in with his reaction to the video that was circulating on social media. 'Bones' mentioned that he was being defensive on the phone call because he was paranoid. He wrote:

"Whoever was on the phone with me at first, his timestamp is different. By the time I was acting aggressive on the phone it was a completely different conversation. I was already in my paranoid and defensive state."
