UFC Light Heavyweight Champ Jon Jones Pleads No Contest in Albuquerque Strip Club Case

Jon Jones will not face a petty misdemeanor battery charge after reaching a plea deal regarding his involvement in an April incident at an Albuquerque, N.M., strip club.

A cocktail waitress TD’s Eubank accused Jones of slapping her on the vagina and pulling her down onto his lap kissing her on the neck on April 19. According to a report from ESPN, Jones instead pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct in Bernalillo Metropolitan Court on Tuesday and received a 90-day deferred sentence.

During that time, the UFC light heavyweight champion must avoid legal trouble and cannot consume alcohol or drugs.
