Jones sentenced for DWI charge

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones was sentenced for a misdemeanor DWI charge in front of Judge Daniel L. Seiden of the Binghamton City Court District this morning.

He was fined $1,000 after entering a guilty plea on May 29. He will also be required to install ignition interlocks on his vehicles. Furthermore, he will also need to complete a victim impact panel within 90 days, and his license will be suspended for six months.

The sentencing took place on Tuesday.

The light heavyweight champion will return to the cage on September 1 opposite Dan Henderson at UFC 151 on pay-per-view.
