Las Vegas, NV (AP) - Former UFC champion Jon Jones has taken a plea deal to resolve a criminal case stemming from allegations that he scuffled with his fiancée and damaged a Las Vegas police vehicle at Caesars Palace almost eight weeks ago.
A Las Vegas judge ordered Jones to pay $750 in restitution and attend anger management classes.
Jones was arrested before dawn on Sept. 24 on misdemeanor domestic battery and felony damaging a vehicle charges after allegedly grabbing his fiancée by her hair and smashing his own head on the hood of a police patrol vehicle. A police report alleged he left a dent and chipped paint on the squad car.
Jones, who lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was in Las Vegas for a UFC Hall of Fame induction at the Park MGM hotel the night before his arrest.
Jones (26-1, 1 no-contest) had three stints as UFC light heavyweight champion from 2011 to 2020. He’s widely considered one of the greatest fighters in MMA history.
