Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion Jon Jones appeared before a judge this morning (Thurs., March 31, 2016) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to answer for a probation violation stemming from last week's traffic citation.
One that landed him in county jail.
The district attorney recommended that Jones complete a driver education course as well as anger management counseling (probably because of this), in addition to 60 hours community service and a 10 p.m. curfew, according to ESPN reporter Brett Okamoto, on the scene in "Duke City."
Naturally, the defense argued a curfew would hinder his ability to travel to (and compete in) Las Vegas, Nevada, where Jones is expected to challenge Daniel Cormier for the 205-pound title in the UFC 197 pay-per-view (PPV) main event on April 23, 2016.
