Jon Jones bodycam footage shows UFC star threatening cop after shock retirement reveal

The Albuquerque Police Department released bodycam footage from the scene of a February accident that they allege UFC star Jon Jones fled and then threatened a public safety aide over the phone.
The footage, obtained by the Albuquerque Journal, is related to the criminal complaint accusing Jones of leaving the scene of the crash involving an unnamed woman, which was filed last Tuesday in Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court.
An Albuquerque police officer responded to a traffic incident and discovered a woman in the front passenger seat of one of the cars “exhibiting signs of significant intoxication and lacking clothing from the waist down,” the complaint stated, per the Albuquerque Journal.
The woman told the officer that Jones “was the one driving” her car and handed him the phone to speak with Jones.
Police said Jones, “the fighter,” threatened a safety aide over the phone, according to the outlet.
Jones wouldn’t answer questions about his identity from the officer, and it’s unclear exactly what was said.
The officer was heard saying Jones was “making threats” over the phone.
He “appeared to be heavily intoxicated and made statements implying his capacity to employ lethal force through third parties” to the public safety aide, the court record stated.
“My car is wrecked,” the woman added.
According to the Albuquerque Journal, Jones said during an interview with police days after the incident that the woman had left his house earlier in the day intoxicated and called him after getting in the crash.
Jones added that the person the woman handed the phone to “immediately opened the conversations with unprofessional language, which led him to doubt the legitimacy of the individual’s claim.”
The star fighter, who confirmed his retirement Saturday at the age of 37, has been charged with misdemeanor fleeing the scene of an accident, and his bond arraignment hearing is set for July 24.
Jones’ attorney denied his client was driving the car, according to the Albuquerque Journal.
It’s unclear if the situation is linked to Jones’ retirement.
UFC president Dana White did not mention the legal matter when he revealed Jones’ retirement during a press conference Saturday, saying that Tom Aspinall is the new heavyweight champion.

The partnership between the NFL and Netflix continues with the return of the sports docuseries Quarterback. After missing out on the 2024 season thanks to the release of Running Back, Quarterback returns for a second season on Netflix in July 2025 and will follow QBs Kirk Cousins, Joe Burrow, and Jared Goff.
Netflix’s NFL series Quarterback is produced by NFL Films, Omaha Productions, and 2PM Productions. Peyton Manning is the executive producer for Omaha Productions. Ross Ketover, Pat Kelleher, and Keith Cossrow are executive producers for NFL Films.
When is Quarterback season 2 coming to Netflix?
Netflix has confirmed that Quarterback will return for a second season on July 8th, 2025!
Which NFL Quarterbacks will feature in season 2?
The first season featured quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, Marcus Moriata of the Atlanta Falcons, and Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings.
Season 2 will see the return of Kirk Cousins, who now plays for the Atlanta Falcons and will be joined by quarterbacks Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals and Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions.

Burrow has been the QB of the Bengals since 2020, leading them to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports. Despite missing out on the 2024 playoffs, Burrow had his best season with the Bengals, registering a career-best 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns.

Goff led the strong Detroit Lions team to the playoffs, registering a 15-2 in the regular season and winning the NFC North Conference. However, the Lions lost in the playoffs to the Washington Commanders, who Marcus Moriata now plays.

After Quarterback’s first season, Kirk Cousins spent one more year with the Minnesota Vikings before being traded to the Atlanta Falcons. His record at the Vikings ended with 50 wins, 37 losses, and one tie in the regular season. His playoff record was one win and two losses.
His first season for the Atlanta Falcons saw him register a franchise record when he threw for 509 passing yards in a single game in October 2024 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Francis Ngannou sends Dana White a message following Jon Jones' shock UFC retirement

Francis Ngannou has sent a message to Dana White following Jon Jones’ shock retirement from the UFC.
For several months now, Jon Jones has been front and center of one of the biggest sagas in UFC heavyweight history as he continued to refuse to fight interim champion Tom Aspinall.
Things seemed as though they had come to an end earlier this month when Jones appeared to announce his retirement during a storm on X (formerly Twitter).
However, this past Saturday following the UFC’s first ever event in Baku, UFC boss Dana White finally announced that Jones has officially retired from the sport, upgrading Aspinall to the undisputed champion.

Dana White slams Francis Ngannou following Jones’ retirement
Immediately after the news, Aspinall broke his silence with a post on social media, guaranteeing fans that he will be an active champion and get the heavyweight division moving again.
Despite that, there aren’t many current contenders that fans are chomping at the bit to see the British heavyweight fight.
However, one fighter that would be welcomed back to the UFC with open arms by the fanbase, is Francis Ngannou. ‘The Predator’ recently teased that he would be interested in a comeback but it was briefly shut down by Dana White at the time.
Following UFC Baku, White once again spoke about the likelihood of Ngannou returning, saying: “One thing I’ve learned over the years about Francis, Francis doesn’t always mean what he says publicly behind the scenes are different than what he says publicly.
“I’m not a big fan, I would be shocked if Francis ever came back here, on lots of different levels, I’m not a fan and he doesn’t always mean what he says publicly.”

Francis Ngannou sends a message to Dana White following comments
Although the former UFC heavyweight champion may have been open to a return to the promotion despite leaving on bad terms with the boss, following Dana White‘s words on Saturday, that is highly unlikely.
Responding to White, Ngannou took to social media, saying: “Did I say I’m ever coming back?”
A fan then told Ngannou to come back to get his UFC heavyweight title back, to which he responded: “I don’t remember losing it, mate. It’s still in my closet.”
A fight between Aspinall and Ngannou may have been the next best thing after a fight between Jones and Aspinall, however, it remains to be seen who the Brit will defend his title against in his first official defense.

Nate Oats has taken a shine to Northern big men of late. And, that’s fair — the Big 10 and Big East consistently produce the nation’s best front courts: Physical, skilled, bruising. When you play a team from the North, pack a lunch and some ice packs. It’s going to be tough sledding inside the lane.
Meet the next one, as the Tide hauled in 4-star Collins Onyejiaka last night out of the Massachusetts Newman School. Originally on-track for NSD ‘26, Collins will be reclassifying and entering this year, bolstering what is suddenly a very deep ‘Bama post presence.
If you’re looking for a fluid smooth offense, Onyejiaka isn’t your guy. If you want a step-out big who can shoot a respectable bit from the perimeter, look elsewhere. If you need a long athlete who can play 15-feet away from the basket, then Collins isn’t him.
If you want a massive post presence who is a punishing rebounder, finishes plays around the rim, and generally makes life hell on the blocks, then congratulations: You found your man. And that’s what Collins brings to the floor.
After years of getting pushed around in the paint, and perhaps looking ahead to the SEC’s existential threat in Gainesville, the Tide have gone shopping for the Florida Solution. In Onyejiaka ‘Bama has perhaps finally found a true specialist who can give the Tide steady interior minutes, clean up misses for easy baskets, and absolutely hammer the glass…and opposing players.
Coming in at 6’10 and a mammoth 270 pounds, he does all the things you’d expect at that size. He’s a great rebounder with tremendously strong hands. He swats balls. He’s great on the boards on both ends. But, he does have some athleticism too — Onyejiaka has a sweet hook from either hand within six feet of the rim, and he uses surprising body control to go after rebounds in traffic and finish at the hoop. That body control is especially evident in that he is able to be an adroit defender without drawing many fouls — he’s a position player with size.
Collins isn’t the sort of player that is ever going to be a star. He won’t light up the scoreboard or flirt with triple-doubles. He’s not destined for the NBA Lottery. He is a specialist, but it is a specialty Alabama has been lacking. And with his intimidating presence, thunder dunks, and the ability to make short work of penetrating defenders, you can see how he will become a fan favorite. He will almost certainly be an analytical darling despite the box scores — just as Cliff was. What he can do to make everyone better around him is the point, not mere numbers at the scorers table.
Welcome to Tuscaloosa, Collins
