Jon Jones tweets and deletes rant, furious Adesanya passed him in pound-for-pound ranking

It’s been a minute since we saw former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones compete in the Octagon. And we shouldn’t expect to see him there anytime soon. We already knew Bones’ was going to take his time in transitioning from 205 lbs to the UFC’s heavyweight division, but his return to action is now also dependent on the outcome of a domestic violence charge.

Jones was arrested in Las Vegas, the day after a UFC Hall of Fame induction ceremony, on suspicion of assaulting his longtime fiancee. Jones is also accused of damaging a police car, reportedly by headbutting it.
