UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is facing a battery charge stemming from an incident at an Alburquerque, New Mexico strip cub in April, KRQE television reported on Sunday.
According to the station, Jones is being accused of inappropriately slapping a cocktail waitress at TD's Eubank Showclub, pulling her down to his lap and kissing her neck. The waitress also reportedly called officers to her home and said Jones put her in a chockhold and picked her up off the ground, per KRQE. When she asked Jones to stop, she said Jones continued touching her until he decided to leave.
