News stream: Jon Jones hit-and-run charges, felony arrest warrant, and UFC 187 updates following his alleged involvement in a hit-and-run accident on Sunday (April 26, 2015) in Southeast Albuquerque, New Mexico, one that sent a pregnant woman to the hospital with a broken arm. In addition, the UFC light heavyweight champion could be pulled from his May 23, 2015 pay-per-view (PPV) title defense in Las Vegas, Nevada, against division No. 1 contender Anthony Johnson, if "Bones" is arrested or found in violation of the promotion's code of conduct. All the breaking news on his involvement and possible drug charges (marijuana), as well as the latest updates to his fight night status, available in one convenient news stream below.

UPDATE: MMAWeekly.com has amended its initial report below, indicating that Jones was involved in an accident but the fight against Johnson has not been canceled at this time. Stay tuned.

*****

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones' upcoming showdown against Anthony Johnson at UFC 187, which takes place inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, next month (May 23, 2015), has been canceled.

MMAWeekly.com reported that "Bones" was forced out for undisclosed reasons. However, social media erupted earlier this evening with wild (and irresponsible) speculation that Jones was involved in a hit-and-run car crash and is in custody of local Albuquerque, N.M., authorities after initially fleeing the scene.

No legitimate sources have confirmed a Jones accident at this time.

We CANNOT confirm that Jon Jones was involved in a H&R traffic accident from this morning. The investigation is ongoing.

In addition, UFC has not confirmed that the fight between Jon Jones vs. Anthony Johnson is canceled or postponed at this time, either.

Chael Sonnen, though, confirmed it LAST MONTH.

With Jones unable to compete, the Middleweight match up between division champion, Chris Weidman, against Vitor Belfort will likely be promoted to main event status. The Lightweight No. 1 contender eliminator match between Donald Cerrone vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov would naturally then slide into the pay-per-view (PPV) co-main event.
