UFC star Jon Jones is facing legal trouble after being charged with two misdemeanors related to an incident with a drug testing agent at his home. Reports indicate that Jones confiscated the agent's phone, threatened her, and may have been under the influence of alcohol during the confrontation. If convicted, Jones could face jail time and fines. This is not the first time Jones has had issues with drug tests and legal troubles, including previous suspensions for banned substances and various run-ins with law enforcement. Despite his absence from the octagon due to injury, Jones continues to be praised by UFC president Dana White. Potential future opponents for Jones include Tom Aspinall and Alex Pereira, but his return timeline remains uncertain.
