Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is out of jail, agreeing to new provisions to his current probation during a hearing Thursday morning.
Jones appeared in the New Mexico Second Judicial District Court, agreeing to attend anger management and driver improvement courses, as well as do 60 more hours of community service.
The Bernalillo County District Attorney’s office was denied a ruling that would have restricted Jones from being out between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., as Judge Michael E. Martinez denied the provision. Martinez did invoke a condition that “Bones” must receive approval from his probation officer whenever he wants to drive while under probation.
This should all keep Jones on track to fight Daniel Cormier next month at UFC 197 for the light heavyweight title.
Last week, Jones was ticketed for five different items after being pulled over in Albuquerque, New Mexico, including drag racing. In 2015, he was involved in a hit-and-run incident that landed the UFC superstar in jail and suspended from fighting. The promotion stripped him of the title at that point, with Cormier winning the belt with a submission win over Anthony Johnson.
