Ahead of his return to the Octagon next month, Jon Jones has reached a plea agreement wth prosecutors to have misdemeanor charges brought against him dropped ahead of his UFC 309 main event fight in New York.
Jones, the current heavyweight champion and a former two-time undisputed light heavyweight champion in the UFC, appeared via virtual link at a bench trial earlier this week in Albuquerque, facing two misdeamenor charges of assault and interference with communications, ultimately reaching a plea deal.
Preparing to fight former two-time undisputed heavyweight champion, Stipe Miocic at Madison Square Garden in just weeks’ time at UFC 309, Rochester native, Jones landed in hot water back in March, following an alleged altercation with agents representing UFC partners, Drug-Free Sport International, in which Jon Jones was accused of issuing threats and taking the mobile phone of Crystal Martinez, after an attempt was made to collect a urine sample from him.
