BREAKING: New Jon Jones Police Body Cam Footage Released – Hear the UFC Champion’s Phone Call
Just when you thought the Jon Jones legal saga couldn’t get any more intense, here we go again. The Albuquerque Police Department has released new body cam footage that includes something we haven’t heard before – Jon Jones’ actual voice during a phone call at the scene.
Look, I’ve covered Jon’s outside-the-octagon issues for years, and this latest development might be one of the most revealing glimpses into these incidents we’ve ever gotten.
What’s In The New Jon Jones Body Cam Footage?
On Saturday, MMA Fighting confirmed reports that new police footage has emerged from Jon’s most recent run-in with Albuquerque law enforcement. Unlike previous footage where we mostly saw the aftermath or officer interactions, this video contains audio of Jones himself during a phone call.
This is significant because it gives us raw, unfiltered insight into Jones’ mindset during these police encounters – something fans and critics have speculated about for years.

Timeline of Jon Jones’ Legal Issues in Albuquerque
For those keeping score at home (and it’s getting harder to do), here’s a quick refresher on Jones’ history with the Albuquerque PD:
Year | Incident | Outcome |
---|---|---|
2015 | Hit-and-run involving pregnant woman | Pleaded guilty to leaving scene of accident |
2019 | Battery allegations at strip club | Pleaded no contest |
2020 | DWI and negligent use of firearm | Pleaded guilty to DWI |
2021 | Domestic incident at hotel | Charges not filed |
What This Means For Jones’ UFC Future
I’ve gotta be honest – this couldn’t come at a more complicated time for Jones. Just as he’s established himself as heavyweight champion and is rumored to be preparing for a potential mega-fight with Stipe Miocic, these old demons resurface.
The UFC has stood by Jones through previous incidents, but with each new piece of evidence that emerges, the pressure mounts on Dana White and the organization to address their star’s behavior outside the cage.
Fan Reactions to the New Footage
MMA Twitter is already exploding with reactions. Some fans continue to support Jones, pointing to his undeniable talent in the octagon, while others question whether the UFC should continue promoting an athlete with such a troubled history.
One thing’s for certain – the court of public opinion doesn’t operate with the same burden of proof as actual courts, and this footage will likely shape many fans’ perceptions regardless of legal outcomes.

What’s Next in This Developing Story?
I’ll be watching this story closely as more details emerge. Key questions remain:
- What exactly did Jones say in the recorded phone call?
- Will this footage impact any ongoing legal proceedings?
- How will the UFC respond to this latest development?
- Will this affect scheduling for Jones’ next title defense?
As a journalist who’s covered Jones since his early UFC days, I’ve learned that with Bones, you can never predict what comes next. That’s what makes him simultaneously one of the most brilliant and frustrating figures in combat sports history.
Why This Matters to MMA Fans
Beyond the tabloid appeal, these incidents raise serious questions about accountability in combat sports. When the most gifted fighter of his generation repeatedly finds himself in trouble, it forces us as fans to confront uncomfortable questions about who we cheer for and why.
Whether you love him or hate him, Jon Jones remains the most compelling figure in MMA – a walking contradiction who displays angelic talent and demonic judgment in equal measure.
