Jones Pleads Not Guilty To Traffic Tickets, Not Due In Court Until After UFC 197

Jon Jones will not have to worry about appearing in court again until after his UFC comeback fight at UFC 197 later this month.

The former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion officially pleaded not guilty to five traffic tickets, including one for drag racing, and is not due again in court until next month, according to Camille Cordova, spokesperson for the Bernalilo County Metropolitan Court.

Originally, Jones’ traffic arraignment was set for Tuesday, however his legal team filed a waiver arraignment last week along with the not guilty plea.

Jon Jones is scheduled to make his Octagon return in an interim Light Heavyweight title fight against Ovince St. Preux in the main event of UFC 197 on Saturday, April 23, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
