Jon Jones has responded to an accusation that he threatened to “kill” an anti-doping agent sent to collect a sample from the UFC heavyweight champion.

First reported by ABQRAW News, ‘Bones’ was said to be “extremely intoxicated” when a representative with Drug Free Sport International, the UFC’s new anti-doping agency as of January 1, arrived at his home to conduct a standard drug screen. During the incident, Jones allegedly threatened to kill the tester and was also accused of stealing her cell phone at one point.

The incident occurred in late March but was first brought to the attention of the Albuquerque Police Department on Friday, April 5.
