An uncut and unedited version of Jon Jones' infamous arrest in Las Vegas, Nevada has surfaced on the internet.
In a 13-minute video obtained by MMA Fighting, Las Vegas Metropolitan police officers were seen searching for Jones at Ceasar's Palace in response to a domestic violence report. Later on, they left the casino's premises and found the former UFC champion crossing the street.
Jones, who was clearly intoxicated, was initially calm as he asked the officers why he was being arrested. However, the MMA superstar's demeanor quickly changed when he blamed the officers for ruining his night.
"Why are you doing this?" Jones asked in the video. "This is so humiliating. I got the Hall of Fame tonight, and then you’re gonna put me on this by walking down the street."

Jones then became agitated and decided to hurl insults at one officer he referred to as a "nerd." He also accused the officers of racial profiling, insisting he was only being arrested because he was "big and black."
Things took a turn for the worse when 'Bones' became more distressed and decided to smash his head into the hood of the police vehicle, leaving a dent. At that point, the officers placed him inside the vehicle.
Watch the unedited version of Jon Jones' arrest:
The 34-year-old was charged with misdemeanor battery, domestic violence, felony injury and tampering with a vehicle, marking this his fourth run-in with the law. 'Bones' pleaded guilty to a hit-and-run charge back in September 2015.
The UFC star was also arrested on DWI charges in May 2012 and March 2021, pleading guilty to both those counts.
