Report: Jon Jones charged with battery for strip club incident in April

On Sunday evening, New Mexico’s KRQE News reported that the UFC light heavyweight champion has been charged with battery stemming from an incident that occurred at a strip club in Albuquerque this past April.

Jones, 32, allegedly slapped an on-duty cocktail waitress at TD’s Eubank Showclub, and also pulled her onto his lap and kissed her neck. The details arose from a call the waitress made to Albuquerque Police from her home.

The alleged victim also claims that Jones picked her up off the ground with a chokehold and that he touched her despite her telling him to stop.
