UFC champ Jon Jones fined $1,000 and license suspended at DWI sentencing

As expected Jon Jones has avoided jail time following his May 19 arrest on a misdemeanor DWI charge.

The UFC light-heavyweight champion today was issued a $1,000 fine and six-month license suspension. He also will have ignition interlocks installed on his vehicles, and he needs to complete a victim-impact panel.
