Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has had a domestic violence charge dropped against him as of December 14th, after striking a plea deal with prosecutors in Nevada.<\/p>\n

Pleading no contest to a misdemeanour charge of destruction of property with a court condition to “stay out of trouble”, Jones was ordered to pay $750 restitution to the victim and ordered to get counselling for anger management, according to Clark County court records.<\/p>\n

This is not his first run-in with the law, there have been many: a 2012 DUI conviction, a 2015 hit-and-run conviction, a 2019 battery conviction, and a 2020 DUI conviction.<\/p>\n

The latest charge came after an incident at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Sept. 24th after a UFC Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Jones fiancee told police he put his hands on her, but didn’t strike her. Jones was arrested outside the hotel and charged with domestic violence and felony vehicle tampering.<\/p>\n

Jon Jones responded on social media:<\/p>\n

\u201cI love how people are imagining the worst possible situation in their heads and making it somehow factual. I never hit my fianc\u00e9 and our daughters were woken up after our confrontation,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Jones wrote.\u00a0\u201cMy daughters didn\u2019t see or hear us arguing. That\u2019s really the only thing I care to clarify.. outside of that, looking forward to moving forward without alcohol. It\u2019s the first time in my life where I\u2019m actually ready to quit. Glad to have the support of my fianc\u00e9, family friends and fans.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Jon Jones previously revealed some of the hardships he has experienced in life including being molested as a child.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy life wasn\u2019t always great man,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he wrote in a\u00a0since-deleted tweet<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cBeing molested as a child, losing a parent and sibling to disease at a young age. It goes on and on man. I got things I need to deal with.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Jones (26-1 MMA) has not stepped foot in the\u00a0Octagon<\/a>\u00a0since scoring a unanimous decision victory over Dominick Reyes at UFC 247 in February of 2020. Following that win, \u2018Bones\u2019 decided to vacate the promotions 205lbs title in hopes of making a run at UFC heavyweight gold.<\/p>\n

Jones is no longer welcome at his previous training facility, the Jackson-Wink MMA gym. \u2018Bones\u2019 has also had difficulties with the UFC and president Dana White, concerning how much money he expects to make for a potential heavyweight title fight.<\/p>\n
