Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones met his fate today after his involvement in an April hit-and-run accident that left a pregnant woman with a broken arm.
Jones (21-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) pled guilty to one felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident, but he won’t see any jail time. “Bones” was given up to 18 months of probation along with 72 required charity appearances.
What Jones’ day in court means for his fighting future remains to be seen. UFC officials intend to “thoroughly review” Jones’ plea before lifting his indefinite suspension from competition, and the 28-year-old said he plans to “continue to do the work needed to be productive and successful in every aspect of my life.”
