Jon Jones Reaches Plea Deal For Drag Racing

MMA

Jon Jones will not face jail time in relation to his 'drag racing' earlier this year.

The currently suspended interim UFC light heavyweight Champion agreed to a deal with prosecutors that saw him receive a 90-day suspended sentence. The charges in question were drag racing, exhibition driving, weaving, modifying his exhaust pipe and failing to properly display his license.

The incident was caught on a police officer's body camera and went viral, as Jones denied the accusations and called the officer a 'pig.' Jones stated that he simply acknowledged fans at a red light by revving his engines.

Jones will have to complete an aggressive driving course and perform sixty hours of community service, in addition to a $143 fine. When the incident went down in March of this year, Jones was already serving probation for a hit-and-run incident in 2015. Jones has already completed 51 hours of the assigned community service in relation to his probation.

Jones is suspended and awaiting a hearing in relation to a failed United States Anti Doping Agency test ahead of UFC 200 that forced him to be pulled from his main event slot against Daniel Cormier.
