Jon Jones Driving License Suspended For 6 Months For DWI

UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones was sentenced today after pleading guilty to a DWI charge earlier this year.

As expected Jones did avoid a jail sentence for driving while under the influence of alcohol, but he has had his driver’s license suspended for six months and will also have to pay a $1,000 fine.

In addition he will have to complete a victim impact panel within 90 days and also has to have ignition interlocks (a breathalyzer device that prevents the car from starting if the driver is over the legal drinking limit) fitted to all his cars.

With the sentencing out of the way Jones can now focus his whole attention on preparing for his next title defense against Dan Henderson which will take place at UFC 151 in Las Vegas on September 1st.
