It appears that the UFC 197 main event will go forward as planned.
Jon Jones appeared before judge Michael Martinez in New Mexico Judicial District Court on Thursday morning for a probation violation stemming from an incident in which the UFC light heavyweight received five traffic tickets, including one for drag racing, on March 24 in Albuquerque, N.M.
The Bernalillo County District Attorney’s office recommended that Jones take anger management and a driving course as well as have a curfew between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. However, Jones’ legal team argued against the curfew, pointing primarily to his UFC obligations, which include training, travel and media events.
