UFC star Jon Jones CHARGED after 'threatening to KILL drug tester'... with heavyweight champion 'facing jail time'

UFC star Jon Jones is reportedly facing jail time after being charged with two misdemeanors in relation to a row with drug-testing agents.

Back in April, the heavyweight champion was accused of threatening to kill an anti-doping official - while intoxicated - after they tried to carry out a drug test.

Now, according to reports, Jones has been charged with assault and interference with communications. He could be sent to a prison - for a less than a year - and fined up to $1,500. Jones denied threatening or assaulting the testers.

It's claimed the 36-year-old will face a virtual bond hearing in New Mexico on Wednesday .

According to a police report, acquired by DailyMail.com back in April, the UFC star was accused of grabbing the 'terrified' tester's phone and threatening to sue her and her colleague.

Jones - whom the tester thought may have been drunk - then the official a chilling warning, according to their testimony.

'Why you f****** people come so early,' Jones is said to have told the agent, per the police report. 'Do you know what happens to people who come to my house, they end up dead.'

Jones recently claimed that he is slated to return to the Octagon on November 9 at Madison Square Garden. 'I know it seems like a dream but it's really happening,' he wrote on social media.

The 36-year-old won the title in March 2023 with a submission win over Ciryl Gane but has yet to defend the belt.
