Jon Jones will no longer face charges for an alleged altercation with a drug testing agent from Drug Free Sport International at his Albuquerque, New Mexico, home earlier this year.

On Tuesday, the UFC heavyweight champion reached a pre-adjudication agreement to dismiss the misdemeanor charges of assault and interference with communications stemming from that incident. Judge Asra I. Elliott approved the agreement between the defense and prosecutors provided that Jones completes four hours of anger management and avoids legal trouble for the next 90 days. Jones attended the hearing with attorney Christopher Dodd via Zoom.
