Leaving the scene prevents DUI though, which he has obviously done before.this does not look good for jones. he is heard making threats to police over his skanks phone and he sounds drunk or high af
He was probably hiding somewhere close byThat accident looked like it just happened. So is Jones behind some nearby building or a in a bush when he is having the convo with the police?
That makes perfect sense.
So snakes = blacks and bit = toll paid
I don't think he's as rich as you think. Tons of inactivity throughout his career and legal expenses. He's got money, but he's not in a boat to laugh off $500k-$1m in legal expenses.He still rich as fuck, so he won’t serve any time behind bars.
If he turned down an alleged 12 million - 30 million dollars to fight Aspinall, I'd say he's doing okay.I don't think he's as rich as you think. Tons of inactivity throughout his career and legal expenses. He's got money, but he's not in a boat to laugh off $500k-$1m in legal expenses.
He signed a brand new 8 fight deal before Gane, then he fought Stipe, then complained (like throughout his career) he is being underpaid. No way they offered him more than his brand new contract, imo. UFC doesn't work like that. Next best thing is the best thing ever, fuck the past, he or she was never that good, this new one is the GOAT.If he turned down an alleged 12 million - 30 million dollars to fight Aspinall, I'd say he's doing okay.
I'll fight Tom Aspinall, right now, for 10 million dollars. He outweighs me by almost 100lbs, but that's a decent chunk of change, plus I'm squirrely.
The amount of bullshit he's gotten away with, from a legal standpoint, isn't too out of the ordinary. I know poor people that have gotten away with way more bullshit than he has. It's amazing what you have to do to actually serve prison time in this country.It isn't about the legal team so much IMO. He can afford a good one, not that he will make a good choice selecting a team. I think he can afford it for now.
I think the UFC Frittata and WME connections can get a lot of charges and issues buried or swept away due to favors owed or favor vouchers issued. Once those backdoor favor deals go away he will be toast within a year. Would probably be in prison without favors from UFC higher ups the last 10 years.

The UFC, however, has 100% handled him with kid gloves and made way too many excuses and concessions for his bullshit.
The UFC absolutely works like that for draws like Jones. People love him or hate him and will tune in to watch him win or lose. When you're someone like Jones, McGregor, etc., almost everything is negotiable when it comes to fighting. Member when they cancelled an entire event because of his dumbass? How often does that happen?He signed a brand new 8 fight deal before Gane, then he fought Stipe, then complained (like throughout his career) he is being underpaid.

They've had backdoor pull with folks all over the world for a while. I feel like the product sucks for the most part, now, but I'm still amazed at how far it's come since the 90's. There's some major money involved.Agreed
I just feel like UFC owners and brass have always had some backdoor pull with some States and Law enforcement
Vegas being one for sure and I would doubt they have ABQ police on speed dial...and likely knew about this incident the night it happened back in February.
I see it like this, he always took fights he knew he'd win, even if he shouldn't have been as confident. When it came down to fighting Cormier at HW, god forbid Ngannou, and more recently Aspinall, the challenges weren't worth the potential embarrassment of dead body style knockouts. His sociopath personality would deal with that worse than Rhonda.The UFC absolutely works like that for draws like Jones. People love him or hate him and will tune in to watch him win or lose.

I'm not a fan of his, and he's been gifted at least a couple bullshit decisions, but the man is one hell of a fighter and is definitely a moneymaker for the UFC. He's earned some special treatment, but I think he used up his fair share years ago.
Re: selective heavyweight matchmaking: I think Jones has internalized trauma against opponents bigger than him being the smallest one of his brothers, likely always got his ass kicked as a kid because he was the smallest Jones broI see it like this, he always took fights he knew he'd win, even if he shouldn't have been as confident.

Go out on top, have that for the rest of his life, whether warranted or not.
You would think by now those cocksuckers would just listenHes threatened APD many, many times.
