What is the meaning of BMA, as mentioned in the 911 call of Jon Jones' arrest?
The police audio from Jon Jones' latest arrest was obtained last Friday by MMA Fighting. In the call, the UFC superstar was referred to as BMA, which stands for Black Male Adult in police terminology.
The law enforcement authorities in the United States commonly use the aforementioned acronym to address an African American male aged 18 or above, as cited in the Menlo Park police daily log glossary.
The 911 call of Jones' arrest revealed disturbing details surrounding his alleged assault on fiancee Jessie Moses.
A security guard who called the Las Vegas police said Moses was bleeding from her nose and refused to enter the room she shared with Jones on the day of his arrest.
“He’s actually a professional MMA fighter, Jonathan Jones, and she’s, like, refusing to go back to the room. We’re trying to assist her to help her grab her stuff, and she just will not go back," said the security guard (transcription by MMA Fighting).

"I have way too much trauma to consume alcohol, my brain simply can't handle it anymore. I will leave alcohol in my past forever. Turn this nightmare into the best to ever happen in my life. Now is the time to work harder than ever. What the devil means for bad, God means for good. Get right back on my horse," Jon Jones wrote.
