Jon Jones accepts plea deal (again) in drag racing case, avoids jail time (again)

Finally, some good new for the "Bones" camp.

After pleading guilty to unlawful use of modification of exhaust systems and improper display of a registration plate during a hearing in Albuquerque, N.M., earlier today (Aug. 11, 2016), Jon Jones was given a 90-day deferred sentence, avoiding jail time in the process.

That means the former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight champion has to stay out of trouble for the next three months. He will also be required to do 60 hours of community service, attend driving school and and pay a fine of $143, according to MMA Fighting.
