Bennett said there is not enough information right now to determine whether or not Jones, the UFC light heavyweight champion, would be licensed for his scheduled title defense against Anthony Johnson at UFC 187 in Las Vegas. But Bennett said Jones could be called before the commission ahead of the fight if chairman Francisco Aguilar and the commissioners believe it is warranted.
"It would all depend on the facts of the case," Bennett said.
A man suspected to be Jones allegedly ran a red light Sunday morning in Albuquerque, striking a car with a pregnant woman inside, according to the police report. The man, who was identified as Jones by an off-duty police officer at the scene, bolted from the vehicle after grabbing a handful of cash. Albuquerque PD has not been able to contact Jones for questioning and is currently working on a warrant for his arrest.
APD found a marijuana pipe with marijuana in it inside the vacant car involved in the accident. Also found was paperwork with the name "Jonathan Jones" and references to MMA and Nevada.
Bennett told MMAFighting.com that Jones passed multiple out-of-competition drug tests with regards to UFC 187. Those tests, though, would not determine whether Jones had used any recreational drugs.
