Jon Jones pleads not guilty to 'bogus' drag racing charges

Former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones spoke through his lawyer regarding his plea on the recent drag racing case that he is currently involved in.

On the night of March 24th, former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones was involved in yet another driving misdemeanor charge.

"Bones" was pulled over by officer Jason Brown of the Albuquerque Police Department, and was given five traffic citations for drag racing, exhibition driving, use of modification of exhaust systems, failure to maintain traffic lane, and improper display of registration plate.

The fighter, in turn, denied the accusations, stating he was only revving his engine while stopped at a red light to give acknowledgement to some fans who were then next to him.
